Combine celery, bamboo shoots, garlic, ginger, and the 1/4 cup chopped green onion; set aside. In another bowl, stir together vinegar, soy, and sugar.
In a wok or wide frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium high heat until oil ripples when pan is titled. Add shrimp, a few at a time, and stir fry until shrimp turn pink (about 5 minutes). With a slotted spoon, lift out shrimp; set aside.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan, if needed, and add bamboo shoot mixture. Stir-fry for 1 minute; stir in vinegar mixture and when it boils, return shrimp to pan. Mix just until blended. Serve immediately over hot cooked rice. Garnish with sliced green onion.
