3/4 lb    large shrimp, unshelled  
2 Tbs    cornstarch  
1 tsp    salt  
1/2 Tbs    freshly ground pepper  
1 Tbs    canola oil  
1 Tbs    fresh ginger, chopped  
5   garlic cloves, crushed  
6   scallions, thinly sliced  
 
1 Place shrimp in a bowl of water to soak while you prepare the other ingredients.
2 Mix the cornstarch, salt and pepper together in a medium bowl. Remove shrimp from water, pat dry with a paper towel and add to the cornstarch mixture. Toss well, making sure all of the shrimp are covered with the mixture.
