This is an appetizer that I served at a recent dinner party.

It is packed in flavor, so easy to make and you can easy make this a main course – serve with rice or over noodles.

Simply marinate cleaned shrimp in tamarind paste, fresh ginger, your favorite hot sauce (optional), soy sauce and a touch of sesame oil.

Set aside for about 20 minutes and add chopped cilantro.

Saute in a pan with a tsp of oil.  Cool until the shrimp as just opaque and then add the left over marinade with 1/2 cup of water.  Taste for seasoning and serve hot.

Until I cook again!
