"This Chinese-American sauce gets its name from the fact that it's often served with lobster," explains recipe author Richmond Flores. "It's an adaptation of a dish I grew up with. My dad started making it after trying it at a local Chinese-American restaurant. Shrimp in lobster sauce is a similar, yet simplified, version of his favorite Chinatown dish. Like my dad's recipe, I added ground pork."

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Combine the shrimp, soy sauce, ginger, and white pepper in a medium bowl.
  2. Heat the oil in a wok until it begins to shimmer. Add the ground pork and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up the pieces, until browned and almost cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes.

  3. Slowly pour 2 3/4 cups of chicken broth into the wok and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly and the pork is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  4. Combine the cornstarch with the remaining 1/4 cup chicken broth to form a paste. Slowly whisk the paste into the broth and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp mixture and beaten eggs. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink, 4-5 minutes. Stir in the green peas and remove from heat. Serve with rice.
