Topic: Shrimps
Shrimp again, as I said in my earlier posts that it's shrimp season in Kuwait that's why most of our meal this summer season has shrimps.
The original recipe of this dish was basically chili shrimp but I add some ingredients like sugar and sweet tomato ketchup to minimize the chili taste. The result? Wow...delicious, even the non-chili eaters ca eat it, and no leftovers when I served it last night.
Ingredients:
400 grams shrimps, peeled
1 large onion, sliced
1 large ripe tomato, thinly sliced
1 tbsp. grated ginger
1 tsp. ginger powder
2 long green peppers, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, cut into ctrips
1 tsp. peppercorns, cracked
1/2 tsp. black pepper powder
1/3 cup sweet tomato ketchup
1 tsp. hot sauce
2 tbsp. oyster sauce
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. sugar
2 tbsp. cooking oil
1/2 cup shrimp broth (you can make shrimp broth by boiling the shrimps' head with 1/2 cup water for 3-5 minutes)
salt to taste
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a pan, saute onions until clear. Add tomato and ginger, cook until the tomatoes are tender.
2. Add shrimps, stir for 30 seconds, add in the soy sauce, peppercorns and broth. Simmer for 4-5 minutes.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients, stir, and cook for about 3 minutes or more.
