2 lbs of large uncooked shrimp/prawns, shells removed (this is equal to about 24 shrimps)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove minced
2 tablespoon chopped cilantro
3 tablespoon tamarind from a pliable block
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon Sriracha
4 tablespoons palm sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
Recipe Steps:
In a small sauce pan, bring the tamarind, water, Sriracha, palm sugar and fish sauce to a boil. Simmer until thickened to consistency of light syrup, about 3 minutes.
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add onion slices, cook until onions begin to soften; stirring constantly for about 10 minutes. Add the shrimp, cilantro and garlic. Cook shrimp 3 minutes or until just pink. Turn off the heat and add the tamarind sauce. Serve immediately.
