Sambal Udang

I love sambal dish whether it's sambal meat, seafood or just egg. A few tablespoon of these hot ans spicy dish could make you finish yup a whole bowl of rice, no wander most of the malay family only cook couple dish for a meal compare to Chinese who usually prepare 3 or 4 dishes for a meal. This my shortcut version, It's very hard to get fresh southeast asian ingredient here especially when i don't go to the asian store. So i cheated this dish with some pre-made jar, sambal olek to replace the fresh chillies and galangal powder.

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp sambal olek
• 3 shallot
• 1 medium red onions, chopped
• 1.5 tsp galangal powder
• 10 cloves garlic
• 3 candle nut

• 1/2 cup oil
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp thick coconut milk
• 4 tbsp lime juice
• 1 lb shrimp

Method:

• Blend first 6 ingredient until fine
• Heat oil in saucepan, fry the blended ingredients for about 10 min or until fragrant
• Add brown sugar, salt and coconut milk and bring to boil
• Add lime juice and shrimp, simmer for 5 min until the shrimp is cooked.
