Avoid covering the pan while simmering the shrimp.

Tip:

• When stir-frying shrimp, start with high heat to help the shrimp firm up quickly and retain their natural sweetness. This also helps the shrimp turn a bright red color.
• Add fish sauce after the shrimp has firmed up to preserve its aroma; adding it too early will give the shrimp an unpleasant smell.

Ingredients:

• Fresh shrimp (800g, you can use any type like prawn or green shrimp)
• 1 block of tamarind (150g)
• Annatto oil
• Common seasonings: salt, pepper, sugar
• Garlic: 1/2 bulb
• Sesame oil
• Cooking oil
• Spring onions, cilantro
• Seasoning powder, fish sauce

Instructions:

  • Wash the shrimp thoroughly, keeping the shell and head intact. Remove the intestines and black veins along the back for a cleaner look and better presentation.
  • Pick and rinse the spring onions and cilantro, removing any wilted leaves, then cut them into small pieces.
  • Peel the garlic, wash, and finely chop it.

• Step 2: Prepare the tamarind sauce:
  • Soak the tamarind in warm water for about 15 minutes. Stir or mash it to extract as much sourness as possible. Strain out the pulp and collect the tamarind juice.
  • In a clean bowl, mix 5 tablespoons of tamarind juice with 3 tablespoons of sugar, stir well. Add 1/3 teaspoon of MSG, a pinch of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Stir until the mixture is smooth.

• Step 3: Fry the shrimp:
  • Heat cooking oil in a pan. Fry the shrimp until golden brown, then remove them and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Make sure the oil is hot and the heat is high to avoid overcooking the shrimp and drying them out.

• Step 4: Simmer shrimp with tamarind sauce:
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in another pan. You can also reuse the oil from frying the shrimp. Add the chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant. The garlic will enhance the dish's flavor.
  • Add the fried shrimp to the pan and toss them around, then pour the tamarind sauce over the shrimp. Stir gently to coat the shrimp evenly with the sauce. Add 3 tablespoons of water to adjust the sauce consistency if necessary.
  • Continue to simmer for a few minutes until the tamarind sauce thickens and sticks to the shrimp. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  • For a richer color, drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of annatto oil. Finally, add the spring onions and cilantro, stir gently, and turn off the heat.
