For all those asking why it's called lobster sauce, that's the way they cooked lobster in the Toishan region in China. The early immigrants from China to America were mostly from that region. When they came over, they substituted the shrimp for the lobster since it's far easier to get shrimp than lobster. The proper name for this dish should be 'Shrimp with lobster style sauce". Chinese is a stylized language, so when just say shrimp with lobster sauce, many if not most will understand that it is just stylized language. The literal translation for this dish in Toishanese is " Shrimp lobster gravy". My heritage is Toishanese and my dad was a chef, so growing up, I used to hang out with a lot of the old time Chinese chefs (they were in their 80's back in the 1970s) and that's the way they explained it to me because I was wondering the same thing.
My family is also old school Toisan restaurant owners and I don’t know how our version mutated into what it is, but ours is mostly the same but we take whole fermented black beans and turn them into a mash and mix it with some seafood broth and oyster sauce and simmer with the mix - it’s almost like a Korean jajangmeon, but much less sauce.
Shrimp in lobster sauce is one of my all time favorites. To this day I thought it was actual LOBSTER sauce. SO happy i learned the history of this delicous dish. SUBSCRIBED!
My mother used to make lobster sauce for us all the time, same recipe as yours, but she added more ground pork, included the egg yoke and added a tablespoon of fermented black beans to give it even more flavour. Very tasty, I know what I’ll be having tomorrow😋😋😋
Chinese Healthy Cooking.....you are a really good cook with a mature approach to teaching without unnecessary "babble". I've tried out a couple of your dishes and they've been lovely. Thank you so very much. Xièxiè!
@@ChineseHealthyCook Many Thanks to You! I cook dishes from All About this World, and often 2x a week I’m doing a StirFry from scratch & all fresh I prepared…Shrimp in Lobster Sauce daunted me as a favorite! Thank You for building my confidence in showing me

I've made your recipe with your directions at least 7 times and it comes out great! That is the way I remember it but it was with lobster in China Town NY when I lived there. Excellent and exactly the way it tasted!
Thank you so much. I've always wanted to learn how to stir fry and make my own Chinese food, but knowing how to make sauces was my main barrier . I'm so thankful I found you on TH-cam.❤️
I just tried this for the 1st time 2 days ago as I was walking past a Chinese restaurant. I paid $7 for a small size. Had I known how quick and simple it was to make this?! Now that you have shown me how easy it is to make? I will now be making my own from now on!😇Thank you so much‼️💋I will be making meatless healthy Chinese dishes that are weightloss friendly!🦋
One of my favorite Chinese dishes. I too wondered about why the sauce was called lobster sauce and no lobster or even a taste of lobster but I still love it. Thanks for the recipe I will be making it at home.
You know, I cooked and followed your recipe. Oh so delicious! 😋 I want to cook this again and again. My husband ate a lot of this dish tonight. Double thumbs up! Thank you!

I came across your channel recently when I was searching for recipes of Singapore Rice Noodles that I used to get at chinese restaurants in the US. That is one of my favourites. Thank you for sharing your easy to follow recipes that anyone can make at home.
I followed your recipe to a T and it was Amazing. I always thought this was difficult recipe to make. Thank You for this video. I make it now at least once a week.
I just enjoy your videos! I purchased a wok and a large bottle of shaoxing wine and now I am a chef. 😝😆. My family just loves your recipes. Thank you so much and keep up the excellent work! I'm really enjoying cooking Chinese food.
I love this dish but many Chinese restaurants don't make it well. Yours looks perfect - the sauce is thick and eggy, as it should be. Shrimp look great. Nice job.
I love shrimp with lobster sauce. Your manner was so calm & your explanation so clear & simple I feel now that I can do this Sorry if name icon comes up 2x. Some sort of computer glitch we don't know how to fix.
This is one of my fav dishes, I am friends with my Chinese restaurant chef, I bring him a lobster tail and request that the whole egg be added to the dish with extra garlic, he make me very happy all the time!!!
This is EXCELLENT TO HAVE RECIPE OF! growing up in Brooklyn, Lobster Cantonese and Shrimp with Lobster Sauce was our Delicacy take out treat rarity... but these days it is never as good as years ago, of course I’m no longer in the city anymore either... can’t wait to make my own!
Thank you for your time showing us how to cook these wonderful dishes. I made your lovely Shrimp with Broccoli and garlic sauce this evening for my wife and I delicious. Thank you again
This is one of my son fav. I only made this once. I should do it for dinner tonight. It's just the pork fried rice I can't seem to make the exact like my fav restaurant. I have restaurant background skills. Mastering certain dish is hard.
Thank You for one of my most favorite, favorite of takeout... I always get, since little... It came out better than I have tried, in any restaurant 💝💌💝Thank You 💌💝
I can't tell you how grateful I am to see this. The restaurant where I fell in love with this dish closed and I have tried two more and they both did NOT measure up. Now that I see how easy it is I am going to try until I get the great taste I miss so much. THANK YOU.
Looks sooo good, will definitely try it. Every dish of yours I have tried has gone well...no fails yet, very straightforward recipes to follow, thank you!
Hey girl, I love your recipe. One of my most favorite Chinese dishes to eat ever! Question for you. Could you show us how to make shrimp and lobster sauce with the black bean sauce? That’s the one that drives everybody crazy. And everybody loves it so good.! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you for posting. Wonderful girl. Let’s do shrimp and lobster sauce with black bean.!!!!
I grew up in New York and LOVED this since I was a kid but with lobster. It was all over the place as “Lobster Cantonese” Now I live on the west coast and that name comes up as some kind of stir fry. One restaurant years ago sort of had it but with a brown sauce. YOUR recipe looks delicious and the real deal. Time to hook this up myself , thanks for clear and simple instructions 😋
Thank you for sharing this very nice recipe. I appreciate you adding the complete recipe in description box. I enjoy Shrimp with Lobster Sauce so very much.
Decades ago, our 'Payday' lunch was to go to Philadelphia's HAPPY GARDEN restaurant. Shrimp with Lobster Sauce was one of our favorite dishes! It was made this way!
Thank you for your delicious and healthy recipes. I enjoy that you use a normal gas stove and different pans. Could you share more information about them.
I'm so glad I found you on here. I've not been able to eat Chinese food for a while now because of health issues I don't go out much at all. I constantly crave Chinese food but only make stir fry and egg drop soup. I now am going to use your recipes and live happily 😁. Thanks for your contribution. I'm going to try this tomorrow and then I'm going to go thru the rest of your videos. 😂 I'm so excited!

I wondered the same thing. Thanks for the info! I think I might try my hand at this recipe.
Yes, I'm from NYC and this sauce was used to make a dish called Lobster "Cantonese". It was cheaper to make it with shrimp.
Thank you very much for this little bit of history, which puts the name of the dish in proper context.
I bet you’re good perhaps expert cooking this dish
My family is also old school Toisan restaurant owners and I don’t know how our version mutated into what it is, but ours is mostly the same but we take whole fermented black beans and turn them into a mash and mix it with some seafood broth and oyster sauce and simmer with the mix - it’s almost like a Korean jajangmeon, but much less sauce.
So thankful we have TH-cam where Asian chefs can teach Americans how to cook Asian cuisine at home!!
JustAMan So happy that my channel is helpful. Enjoy home cooking. Thank you 😊
@Justaman... “American Chinese” food/recipe
A lobster sauce without a lobster. Very interesting but will give this a try this week
Yes, it does taste like lobster 🦞 😆

cfvrq Great 👍 I never had with fermented black beans but just white sauce. Thank you 😊
I have also made it with the fermented black beans. It adds lots of flavor to the dish.
IMHO, pork and fbb add essential flavors to the dish.
This is the it is originally made. Chinese restaurants added black bean sauce because Americans like salty food

Oh my how delicious this dish is. And now I can make it at home - thank you!
It looks easy enough for me to try it.
煸炒少子时 葱姜先下锅 烹饪菜肴要记得走程序 细节很重要 蛋清在虾仁挂糊时用比用在最后好 虾仁就比较脆嫩滑爽 蛋清用在出锅前加入也可 不过抽打成半雪花状后再淋入 最后洒入葱花出锅更完美 雪花虾仁。
谢谢分享！肉末先炒干炒香，再加料头，也是一种炒法😊
