How to Make Shrimp with Black Bean Sauce

Shrimp with black bean sauce is a delicious dish to enjoy over steamed rice, with plenty of sauce and a rich umami flavor from the fermented black beans.
Chinese “black bean sauce” generally refers to any sauce made with fermented black beans (豆豉 - dòuchǐ in Mandarin or dau-see in Cantonese)- a unique and flavorful ingredient.
What’s funny is, this Shrimp with Black Bean Sauce closely resembles what diners in the greater Boston area think of when they think of Shrimp with Lobster Sauce! It has a darker gravy, sometimes with fermented black beans added. (In the NYC-area, we know shrimp with lobster sauce as a dish with a clear white sauce.) It’s fascinating how much variation there is across Chinese American takeout dishes across the country. We’ve received many requests for this New England version, so this recipe has been a long time coming!

Honestly, my mouth was watering while I watched this. I live near where I was born and I know my way around "China town" there. I am going to have to get back into cooking and your vlog and website are just the encouragement I need. Thanks!

OMG! This was delicious.
Reminded me of crabs Cantonese 🦀 from Hop Kee in NY Chinatown.
Thanks and let me know how to swap shrimp for crab.

Can this be done without pork? Is there something that we should substitute instead? Or just don't add pork?
