• Add the shrimp to a large bowl and add half of firecracker shrimp marinade. Toss to evenly coat the shrimp. Refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes, though you can cook immediately if desired.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pan to medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook 2-3 minutes per side, until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.
• Brush on the remaining firecracker shrimp glaze. Reserve any leftover marinade/glaze for serving.

• Wipe skillet with a paper towel. Add orange juice, soy sauce, and sugar. Boil over high heat until syrupy and reduced to about 1/3 cup, 4 to 5 minutes. Return shrimp to skillet; add scallions, and cook until heated through and coated with sauce, about 1 minute.

FIRECRACKER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking tray with foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Prepare your chicken breast by cutting it into 1-inch pieces. Place your cut chicken pieces into a large shallow dish.
• Sprinkle your cut chicken with the cornstarch and toss them to evenly coat all sides of the chicken. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk your eggs. Taking 3 to 4 pieces at a time and shaking off any excess cornstarch, gently toss your cornstarch-coated chicken pieces into the beaten eggs. Place the coated chicken pieces onto a large plate. Repeat until all of your chicken pieces are coated in the cornstarch and egg.
• In a very large skillet, on medium-high heat, add your vegetable oil. Once your oil is hot (about 350°F), gently place ½ of your coated chicken pieces into the oil in a single layer. You want to make sure that the pieces are not touching and the skillet is not overcrowded.
• You will cook your chicken on the first side for 1 to 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1 minute. You are not trying to cook your chicken all the way through at this point. You are only very lightly frying the chicken so that your coated chicken will hold the sauce once cooked in the oven.
• Once your chicken has lightly fried, remove it to a paper towel-lined tray and repeat until all the chicken is fried.
• In a small bowl, you will make your sauce by whisking together the buffalo wing sauce, sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, and red pepper flakes.
• Transfer your fried chicken pieces to the prepared rimmed baking tray. Make sure your chicken pieces are in a single layer.
• Slowly and evenly, pour your sauce over the chicken pieces and gently toss to coat all the chicken.
• Bake your sauce-coated chicken for 20 to 25 minutes. Once your chicken has cooked, give it another toss on the tray to make sure all your sauce is coating the chicken. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.
• Transfer your cooked chicken to a large serving dish, making sure to pour any extra sauce from the tray onto the top, and garnish with the chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

SHRIMP AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• First, prepare the shrimp and broccoli. Next, in a medium pot, set 4 cups of water to a boil. While that's happening, mix the chicken stock, sugar, soy sauces, oyster sauce, sesame oil and white pepper and set aside.
• Blanch the broccoli for 30 seconds. Remove and drain. Let the water return to a boil, and blanch the shrimp for 15 seconds. Remove and drain. The shrimp will be about 60-70% cooked.
• Heat the wok over high heat. Pour 2 tablespoons of canola oil around the perimeter of the wok, stir in the garlic, and add the Shaoxing wine. Next, add the chicken stock mixture. Bring the sauce up to a boil, and add the shrimp and broccoli back to the wok.
• Once everything comes to a boil, drizzle in the cornstarch slurry until the sauce thickens and starts to cling to the shrimp and broccoli. There should not be any standing sauce, although you can adjust this depending on your personal preference. Serve with steamed white rice!

SHRIMP AND CHICKEN SESAME FIRECRACKERS

Steps:

• Peel shrimp, leaving tails intact. Starting at base of tail, insert a toothpick along the length of each shrimp to keep from curling, keeping part of the toothpick sticking out at tail.
• Toss shrimp gently with 1 tbsp of the chili sauce. Set aside.
• Cut chicken breasts into 1/2 inch thick strips, 2 to 3 inches long and toss in a separate bowl with remaining chili sauce.
• Place one sheet of phyllo pastry on a board. Brush it lightly with melted butter. Cut in half lengthwise and then into thirds crosswise to make 6 squares.
• Place one shrimp (on toothpick) about 1/2-inch up from bottom edge of one square, parallel to bottom and leaving tail shell hanging over left edge. Fold right side of square over shrimp meeting left edge. Roll up into cylinder. Brush outside of pastry with butter and place on parchment-lined baking sheet, seam-side-down.
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Repeat with remaining shrimp, 3 sheets of phyllo and half each of the remaining butter and sesame seeds.
• Repeat wrapping with chicken strips, leaving about 1/2-inch of chicken strip beyond left edge of phyllo square. Place on another parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate on baking sheets for up to 1 day. (These can be frozen for up to 2 weeks. Do not thaw before baking.).
• For the dipping sauce, combine ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar and chili sauce in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often to dissolve sugar. Vigorously whisk in cubes of butter, a few at a time, until incorporated and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool. Stir in coriander, if desired. (Sauce can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.).
• To serve, preheat oven to 450°F.
• Bring dipping sauce to room temperature or warm slightly in a saucepan. Bake Shrimp Firecrackers for 5 to 7 minutes and Chicken Firecrackers for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden and shrimp are opaque and chicken is no longer pink inside. (Increase baking time by about 3 to 5 minutes if frozen.) Carefully remove toothpicks from shrimp. Place firecrackers on a warmed serving platter and serve with Spicy Dipping Sauce.
