This glaze has all the right stuff! Sweet, tart, garlicky, spicy, a wonderful glaze that could be used on much more than shrimp. It would be great on grilled pork, chicken, even tofu or grilled vegetables. It could probably be good used as a finishing sauce for a stir-fry as well. We'll be coming back to this one many times, it's a great way to use that jar of tamarind paste that lives in my fridge but doesn't come out very often.<br/>One note: brushing the shrimp with oil makes it hard for the glaze to stick to the surface. Brushing the oil on the grill is a much better solution.
