Sauteed Shrimp in Fish Sauce CaramelExotic yet simple and delicious. Don’t be intimidated by that fish sauce. Amazon has plenty of it and it’s not fishy at all.
In a small saucepan combine the sugar with 1 tbsp. water and melt over moderately high heat until caramelized (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and add fish sauce, soy sauce and 2 tbsp. water. The mixture will bubble. Don’t worry. In a large skillet heat the canola oil until shimmery. Stir in the garlic and pepper and add the shrimp. Cook over moderately high heat until pink on each side, turning once (3-5 minutes). Add the caramel sauce and cook, tossing the shrimp in the sauce, 1-2 minutes. Serve. |
