Thai Sweet and Salty Shrimp
When I was a little kid shrimp was the only seafood that I would eat. As I got older my tastes broadened but shrimp remained one of my favorites. Here’s a simple and quick recipe that tastes a lot more complicated than it is. I adapted this in the New York Times where they give credit to Kris Yenbamroong and Ali Slagle.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. medium to large cleaned, shelled shrimp
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 tbsp. Asian fish sauce or coloratura di alici
- 1 tbsp. white vinegar
- 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp. brown sugar
- 3 tbsp. finely chopped roasted salted peanuts
- 1 tbsp. lime juice
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced green and white
- Red pepper flakes
Dry the shrimp and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Mix the fish sauce, vinegar, oil, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Heat a frying pan to medium high and add the mix. When it begins to simmer, add the shrimp, and cook until it begins to color on both sides.![Thai Sweet and Salty Shrimp Thai Sweet and Salty Shrimp](https://robertiulo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/x-904x1024.jpg)
