Re: Mouthwatering Main Course Recipes - April 24th 2018, 10:29 AM

Mandy and I are fishing enthusiasts, not just beach fishing, but from the family boat. Last time we went out, we took a shrimp drag net which yielded so many that we gave a lot away to our neighbour.

Mandy chose a fine recipe called Plantation Shrimp Reserve. It was attached to a tin of plantation demerara sugar from Barbados. I tracked the picture down and though it's very big, here is the image link:

What made the dish so delicious were the authentic ingredients keeping the recipe nice and simple. Best of all, it used authentic Thai ingredients.

Ingredients for Plantation Shrimp Reserve

10 jumbo prawns
4 oz Demerara sugar (Barbados Demerara is excellent because it is sweeter)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 can coconut milk (cannot be skimmed)
1 tablespoon Demerara sugar
1 tablespoon (level) fresh Thai curry paste
1 tablespoon fish sauce (nam pla)

Coconut Sauce
Place curry paste in pan and add the sugar and the fish sauce.
Whisk together, add coconut, bring to the boil and reduce until thick (around 10 minutes on medium hear).

Shrimps
Preheat a non stick frying pan until hot, and add olive oil.
Take the sugar coated shrimp and place in the pan, cook until opaque and turn constantly while cooking so the shrimp is a caramel colour.
Serve immediately with the coconut sauce.
