HOT BRAISED SHRIMP

A coworker figured out the ingredients for this dish by asking patients who owned Chinese restaurants how they make it... the result is is some of the best hot braised shrimp I've ever tasted! My family likes it pretty spicy, so for those who can't take a lot of spice, you may want to add only half of the chile paste.
