INSTRUCTIONS:

Shell and de-vein the shrimp. Butterfly shrimp by slicing them down the

Cover the black beans with lukewarm water; let soak for 5 minutes. Drain.
Combine with the minced garlic and ginger; gently crush into a paste. Mix
in the wine; set aside.

Place a wok over medium-high heat. When hot, drizzle in half of the oil.
Add the shrimp and stir-fry until they begin to curl and turn bright
orange, about 1 minute. Remove to a dish and keep warm.

Reheat wok over medium heat; add remaining tablespoon of oil and the salt.
Add the black bean paste and saute a few seconds until it becomes aromatic.
Increase heat to medium-high. Add the pork and stir-fry until the morsels
are no longer pink, about 3 minutes.

Add onions, peppers, sugar, white pepper and soy sauce; toss together until
the vegetables begin to soften, about 1 minute. Add the stock and keep
tossing until it comes to a boil.
