 Directions

Slice the shrimp lengthwise in half, rinse in cold water, and pat dry.
Combine the lime juice, soy sauce, flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and egg
in a bowl and mix well. Add the shrimp, cover with plastic wrap and
refrigerate for at least an hour. Mix together the scallions, ginger,
chilies, and garlic in a small bowl and set aside. Mix together the Sauce
ingredients in another small bowl and set aside.

Heat 2 cups of oil to 350~ in a wok or deep frying pan. Add half the shrimp
and stir briskly until the shrimp turn whitish-pink, 3 to 4 mins. Remove to
drain on paper towels. Cook the rest of the shrimp in the same manner.

Remove all but 2 tbsp of oil from the wok, add the scallion mixture and
stir at high heat until it begins to color. Add the sauce ingredients and
stir until the mixture bubbles.Return the shrimp to the wok and stir to
coat with the sauce for a minute or two. Transfer to a holding container
and keep warm.

Heat 2 tbsp of oil in the wok, add the sherry, soy sauce, and sugar and
stir to heat through. Add the greens/spinach mixture and stir briskly at
high heat just until wilted. Remove from the heat, fold in cilantro/basil
and transfer to serving platter.

Place the shrimp on the greens and garnish with mango and carambola slices.
