I found this on the terrific site Seasalt with food, adapted from the book Pleasures Of The Vietnamese Table by Mai Pham Ingredients:
2/3 lb raw medium shrimp, unpeeled but cleaned |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar |
1 garlic clove, chopped |
1 shallot, chopped |
4 tablespoons water |
1 tablespoon fish sauce |
1/4 teaspoon sea salt |
5 sprigs cilantro, cut into 2 inch lengths |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a skillet over moderate heat. Add the shrimp and sugar and stir for 1 minute. Add the garlic and shallot, stir 1 minute, and add the water, fish sauce and salt.
2. Reduce the heat and cook until the shrimp are done and the pan is almost dry, about 1 minute or so. Transfer to a plate, garnish with the cilantro and serve immediately.
