Thai Style Sweet And Salty Shrimp Food

EASY STIR-FRIED THAI GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a bowl, combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, garlic, lime juice, and chili pepper. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
• Place shrimp in the marinade and stir well to coat.
• In a wok or frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp along with the marinade.
• Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until the shrimp are plump and pink. They will also be lightly browned from the sauce. Avoid overcooking or the shrimp will turn rubbery.
• Test the sauce for taste and adjust as needed to achieve a salty-sweet balance. Add more sugar if it's too sour. If it's too salty or sweet, add more lime juice.
• Top the shrimp with coriander and add some lemon slices on the side. Enjoy!

EASY THAI SWEET & SOUR SHRIMP

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Pour one can of pineapple chunks (with juice) into a medium-size pot.
• Drain the juice from the other can into the pot, squeezing out all the juice from the fruit (you can save it for eating or other dishes).
• Add the vinegar, sugar, fish sauce, cayenne, lemon or lime juice, and ketchup.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium or until you get a nice strong simmer. Simmer 12 to 15 minutes, uncovered, or until sauce reduces by one-third. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Place a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Drizzle in the oil and add garlic and onion. Stir-fry 30 seconds, then add the vegetables. Stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes, adding 1 to 2 tbsp. of the sweet & sour sauce as you fry, just enough to keep ingredients sizzling.
• Add the shrimp plus soy sauce and continue stir-frying until shrimp turn pink on the outside (1 minute).
• Add remaining sauce. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer for 1 minute, then reduce heat to medium-low.
• In a cup, stir cornstarch into​ the water with a fork until dissolved. Add this to the stir-fry, stirring slowly. When your stir-fry has thickened enough for your liking (about 1 minute), remove from heat.
• Do a taste-test, looking for a balance of sweet and sour, plus a hint of spicy and salty flavors. If too sour, add more sugar; if too sweet or too salty, add more lemon/lime juice. More cayenne can be added for more spice. If you'd like a deeper color, add a few drops red food coloring (optional). Top with toasted sesame seeds, if desired, then serve with Thai rice and enjoy!
