4 pounds large shrimp, cleaned, rinsed and dried
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 large eggs, well beaten
3 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons salt
Sauce:
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 cup syrup from canned sweetened pineapple
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 large green pepper, cut into chunks
4 to 6 slices pineapple, cut into chunks
In small bowl, combine flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, baking powder and salt.
In separate bowl, beat eggs with water. Dip shrimp into egg mixture, and then into flour mixture.
Deep fry quickly. Arrange on paper towels on cookie sheet. (Can be warmed in oven before serving with sauce.)
For sauce, heat chicken stock, pineapple syrup, vinegar, soy sauce and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Mix water and cornstarch to make a paste, and add to pineapple mixture, stirring until thickened. Add pepper and pineapple, and heat, but do not cook.
Place warm fried shrimp in a heated serving dish, and pour hot sauce over top.
