Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons oyster sauce, such as Lee Kum Kee
2 tablespoons safflower oil
4 celery stalks, cut on a sharp bias 1/4 inch thick (2 1/2 cups), plus celery leaves for serving
1 teaspoon finely grated garlic (from 2 cloves)
1 tablespoon finely grated ginger (from a 2-inch piece)
Pinch of red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving
1/2 cup roasted cashews
Steamed white rice, for serving

Steps:

Pat shrimp dry with paper towels; toss with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch, oyster sauce, and 3/4 cup water.
Heat a large skillet (preferably cast-iron) over high. Swirl in oil, then add shrimp in a single layer; cook, undisturbed, 1 minute. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until almost cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add celery, garlic, ginger, and red-pepper flakes; cook, still stirring, 1 minute. Add cornstarch mixture; stir until sauce thickens and coats shrimp and vegetables, about 1 minute more. Stir in cashews; serve over rice, topped with celery leaves and more red-pepper flakes.
