Comment préparer Assam Spicy Shrimp

Marinate Tamarind: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup tamarind pulp with 1/2 cup water. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes, or until pasty and separates from seeds.
Extract Tamarind Pulp: Press the cooked tamarind through a sieve or food mill to extract the pulp and liquid. Discard the seeds.
Prepare Shrimp Marinade: Rinse 1 pound of shrimp thoroughly, pat dry, and marinate for at least 1 hour with 1 tablespoon of the tamarind liquid, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, and 1 tablespoon hot chili sauce.
Prepare Aromatics: While shrimp marinates, cut 1-inch piece of young ginger into toothpick-sized slivers. If using mature ginger, peel first. Peel and sliver 4 cloves of garlic.
Toast Blachan: Place 1 tablespoon of blachan (shrimp paste) in a non-stick pan and heat gently for 3-4 minutes to develop its aroma.
Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, combine the toasted blachan with 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon hot chili sauce, and the remaining tamarind liquid.
Stir-fry Aromatics: Heat a large wok over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. Once shimmering, add the ginger and garlic. Stir-fry until golden, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir-fry Shrimp: Add shrimp to the wok in batches, stir-frying until bright orange-red, about 3 minutes per batch. Add more oil as needed.
Combine and Simmer: Pour the sauce over the shrimp. Cook at a brisk bubble over high heat until the shrimp are aromatic and the sauce has thickened, about 8 minutes.
Finish: Add 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion and 1 teaspoon sugar. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more sugar, chili sauce, or soy sauce as needed.
