Good day fellow steemians.

How are you? Hope you're doing great and healthy especially in this time of pandemic.

I will be sharing with you today my version of "Sweet and Spicy Shrimp". I cooked this dish because of the request of my husband. He was like pouting at me because we were not able to have this dish in our table for quiet almost two years already. This dish is also my daughter's favorite. And when we went to the port not so near in our house where there are many seafoods vendor, we saw shrimp vendor that sells cheaper than the others and we bought half kilo of it. To begin with my recipe, here's how I prepared and cook my dish.

The ingredients are:

• 1/2 kilo shrimp
• 1 tbsp. vinegar
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 sachet magic sarap
• 1 cup water
• 1 tbsp. oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp. soy sauce
• t tbsp. brown sugar
• 1 stalk spring onions
• 1 pc. onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 4 pcs. chilli
• oil

Procedure:

---

The preparation:

• I wash and cut the spices first before cleaning the shrimp.

• After the cutting the spices, I clean the shrimp. I get rid some of their body parts so that it will be easy for us when we eat them. I removed the antenae and cut the snout and the legs of the shrimps. I just didn't remove the head because it's in that part of the shrimp that's delicious.

Pre-cooking:

• In a low flame setting, pre heat the pan and put the shrimp on it.

• Then let's add the vinegar, salt and magic sarap on it and mix well.

• When the ingredients were already distributed to the shrimp and the vinegar is gradually depleted, let's pour some oil to make our shrimp not dry.

• And when juice produced, transfer the pre-cooked shrimp and its juice to a clean bowl.

Final cooking time:

• In a low-medium setting flame, and with the same pan we used in pre-cooking a while ago put oil and heat it.

• When the oil heated, saute onion and garlic. Until it turns golden brown.

• Then add the pre-cooked shrimp with its juice. And stir for few minutes.

• After a few minutes of stirring, let's add the oyster sauce and soy sauce. Then stir again for few minutes.

• Then let's add the chilli, half of spring onions (set aside the other half for later) and brown sugar.
  If you wonder why I call my recipe "sweet and spicy" but I only put a little chilli, believe me or not this kind of chilli is really hot. If I put some of it, we cannot eat our dish anymore for being so hot. So that's why. hehehe

• Next step is add water to have our dish a little soup that you can put in your rice. And stir for few minutes.

• A few moments later, for the final touch sprinkle the remaining spring onions and done.

My sweet and spicy shrimp is ready!

Best serve when hot and you can surely ask for extra rice with this delicious dish.

Hubby and daughter's cravings satisfied! And me being the chef of the day is feeling proud and contented. Mission accomplished!

This is all for today fellow steemain. Thank you for your time. See you on my next cooking adventure.

More power and God bless!

Be safe always steemians.

Always,
