"Don't let some of the ingredients fool you -- this spicy shrimp makes a simple, impressive dish, which I usually make for company. For more or less heat, adjust amount of red pepper. Serve over hot steamed rice."

  1. What an excellent recipe! So easy and absolutely delicious. I added some brocolli to mine and doubled the ingredients for the sauce as per Gloria in Tampa's suggestion. I served this dish on a bed of Vermicelli noodles. Will definely prepare this dish on a regular basis.
     
  2. This is so yummy! I doubled the sauce like other reviewers suggested...I served it over quinoa using recipe #235534 and a side of steamed broccoli for an excellent meal...I also used fresh minced ginger instead of the powder stuff...made for "Help a Naked Recipe" tag game for recipes without photos...
     
  3. This recipe was incredibly simple and delicious! I doubled the sauce as some suggested and it was the perfect amount. Also I added broccoli but otherwise went strictly by the recipe. I might use a little less crushed pepper next time, but it wasnt unbearably spicy. Yum!
     
  4. Really yummy! Made an extra 50% of the sauce - didn't have chili flakes so I put in some sriracha hot sauce and served it over quinoa!
     
  5. This was a hit with me and my husband. Very simple to make. I actually made the sauce the night before and refrigerated it to save time. We served it with rice and a side of steamed broccoli. Thanks for sharing!

I live in Victoria, British Columbia. I am happily married to the most wonderful guy on earth:) Aside from being a wanna be chef, I am also a wanna be children's book author, and a famous crooner in the shower aside from being a frustrated painter/illustrator and a real trying hard golfer. I love experimenting with different dishes from countries all over the world. I am constantly experimenting with new recipes and different types of fresh herbs and spices. I collect cookbooks and magazines. Most of the recipes I've posted and I will be posting are from the different magazines such as Bon Appetite, Chatelaine, Cucina, Hello, Home Maker and Gourmet. I will also try to post recipes that I've grown up with as well as those that came from family and friends.
