Cooking Instructions

HIDE IMAGES
Step 1
Place Tamarind Pulp (1 Tbsp) in a small bowl and add Water (1/4 cup) . Allow to soak for 15 minutes, then use a spoon to stir the mixture.
Step 2
Pour the tamarind juice over the Shrimp (1 lb) . Add Granulated Sugar (1 Tbsp) and Dark Soy Sauce (1/2 tsp) to the shrimp. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Allow the shrimp to marinate for 15 minutes, then separate the shrimp from the marinade liquid.
Step 3
Heat Cooking Oil (2 Tbsp) in a wok over medium-high heat. Just as the wok starts to smoke a little, add the shrimp to the wok in one single layer. Leave the shrimp untouched for about 30 seconds to allow the shrimp to char slightly, then use a wok spatula to flip the shrimp to cook the other side. Stir-fry to ensure even cooking.
Step 4
Just before the shrimp are fully cooked, pour the marinade liquid into the wok. If you prefer your Tamarind Shrimp with more sauce, simply add more water.
Step 5
Transfer to a dish and serve immediately with White Rice (to taste) . Enjoy!
