This easy shrimp in black bean sauce is a family-pleasing dish that is quick enough to prepare and cook any night of the week. The black bean sauce adds savory, salty flavor and color to the shrimp.

Chinese black bean sauce makes the perfect accompaniment to shrimp in this simple stir-fry. This easy recipe calls for black bean sauce with garlic, available in Chinese or Asian markets and many local supermarkets. You can also find black bean sauce online.

Serve shrimp in black bean sauce alongside hot cooked rice, fried rice, or noodles, with Chinese broccoli or bok choy on the side.

"The shrimp in black bean sauce was savory and had excellent flavor. I liked the fact that it had a good amount of sauce. It was super-fast, and an easy dish to serve any weeknight or for lunch. My family enjoyed it with rice, but it would also be good with cauliflower rice or noodles." —Diana Rattray

How to Store

• Refrigerate the cooked shrimp win black bean sauce in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• To freeze, transfer the cooled shrimp and black bean sauce to a freezer container or zip-close freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost the shrimp in the refrigerator overnight.
• Reheat the shrimp and sauce in a skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until hot.

What Is Light Soy Sauce?

Light soy sauce—sometimes labeled "thin" or "superior"—is not reduced-sodium soy sauce. Light soy sauce is lighter and thinner soy sauce than dark soy sauce but stronger in flavor. Many of the soy sauces on grocery store shelves are dark soy sauce, so look for "light," "thin," or "superior" on the label.

Is There a Substitute for the Black Bean Sauce With Garlic?

Black bean garlic sauce is a salty, pungent, and savory mixture of fermented black soybeans (douchi in Chinese) and garlic. If you can't find it and must substitute, use hoisin sauce and omit the sugar in the recipe.
