Introduction
This is a chilled spicy and sour shrimp dish perfectly suited for summer. Paired with a special versatile spicy and sour sauce, it is tangy, spicy, appetizing, and infused with cold, refreshing flavors. This all-purpose sauce not only coats the shrimp beautifully but can also be used for blanched seafood, sliced meat, or vegetables.
Step 1
Wash the cilantro, separate the roots and leaves, and chop both finely; crush and mince the garlic; finely dice the chili peppers and set aside.
Step 2
Prepare the all-purpose spicy and sour sauce: combine minced garlic, diced chili, chopped cilantro roots, sugar, fish sauce, and squeezed lime juice in a bowl. Add a splash of water and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved, then fold in the chopped cilantro leaves.
Step 3
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Trim the shrimp whiskers and remove the veins, then place them in the boiling water and cook until done; remove.
Step 4
Immediately plunge the cooked shrimp into the ice water to chill, which will shrink the meat and make the texture bouncy.
Step 5
Remove the chilled shrimp from the water and peel off the shells (you may leave the tails on for presentation).
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Cilantro roots are the soul of Thai-style flavor; wash and chop them finely to add to the sauce for a truly authentic aroma. 💡
It is crucial to immediately chill the shrimp in an ice bath after cooking to maintain a firm and bouncy texture. ⚠️
This is an all-purpose sauce. Beyond shrimp, you can add blanched clams, squid, pork belly slices, beef slices, or various vegetables, marinating for 2-5 minutes for great flavor. 🍳
Once prepared, the sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for about 3 days. ⏱️
