Ingredients

For the Marinade:
1 1/2-2 tablespoons oyster sauce (Thai oyster sauce or Lee Kum Kee)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
4 to 6 cloves garlic (minced, to taste)
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 red chili pepper (minced, or 1/3 teaspoon dried crushed chili; to taste)
For the Stir-Fry:
12 to 15 medium to large shrimp (or prawns ; butterflied, shells can be removed or left on)
2 to 3 tablespoons oil (for stir-frying)
Garnish: 1 lemon (cut into wedges)
Garnish: 1/2 cup coriander (fresh)

Steps:

Gather the ingredients.
In a bowl, combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, garlic, lime juice, and chili pepper. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
Place shrimp in the marinade and stir well to coat.
In a wok or frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp along with the marinade.
Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until the shrimp are plump and pink. They will also be lightly browned from the sauce. Avoid overcooking or the shrimp will turn rubbery.
Test the sauce for taste and adjust as needed to achieve a salty-sweet balance. Add more sugar if it's too sour. If it's too salty or sweet, add more lime juice.
Top the shrimp with coriander and add some lemon slices on the side. Enjoy!

SWEET AND HOT GARLIC SAUCE

Sweet and Hot Garlic Sauce image

From the book "Real Vegetarian Thai." It's one of my new favorites--I put a tablespoon of it in just about everything I stir-fry. If you're not a spicy fan, you can turn down the heat by adding less of the chili sauce.

Thai Garlic Sauce Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by mrivara

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1/3 cup good-tasting stock (vegetarian or chicken stock)
2 tablespoons fish sauce (or substitute 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce)
1 tablespoon lime juice
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon liquid honey (or substitute brown sugar), plus more to taste
2 teaspoon corn starch dissolved in 4 tblespoon water
1 red chili, minced, or 1 teaspoon chili sauce, or 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoon rice wine for cooking

Steps:

Place all ingredients, except garlic and cornstarch in a sauce pan over medium-high heat. When sauce begins to bubble, reduce heat to medium-low. Now add the minced garlic and cornstarch (dissolved in water). Stir until the sauce thickens slightly, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Do a taste test. You're looking for a balance of salty (fish sauce), spicy (garlic and chili), sour (lime), and sweet (sugar). Adjust these flavors to suit your taste. Add a little veggie oil to wok, add carrots, add some of the wine. Add all veggies and 1/3 of sauce. Add remaining sauce and tofu.

Tips:

For a more intense garlic flavor, roast the garlic cloves before adding them to the sauce.
If you don't have fish sauce, you can substitute soy sauce or tamari.
Add a touch of lime juice or rice vinegar to the sauce for a brighter flavor.
Serve the sauce with grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu, or use it as a dipping sauce for spring rolls or dumplings.
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
