      Title: ASSAM SPICY SHRIMP
 Categories: Fish, Main dish
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      1 x  ---------marinating---------
  1 1/2 c  Water
      2 lb Headless shrimp
      1 tb Oyster sauce
    1/2 ts Hot chili sauce
      6 oz Tamarind
      1 x  ----------cooking-----------
      3 oz Young ginger root
      4 ea Large garlic cloves
      1 ts Blachan
      2 ea Small red onions
      3 tb Oyster sauce
      1 tb Dark soya sauce
      1 tb Hot chili sauce
      3 tb Oil
    1/4 c  Packed brown sugar
 
  MARINATING:  Break tamarind apart, place in a small saucepan with
  water. Simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes or until pasty coating
  separates from seeds. Press through a sieve or food mill to extract
  all pulp and soupy liquid.  Discard seeds.  Rinse shrimps thoroughly,
  pat dry and marinate fro 1 hour with 1 tablespoon of this tamarind
  liquid, the oyster sauce and hot chili sauce. COOKING:  Meanwhile,
  cut young ginger into toothpick-sized slivers.  If using mature
  ginger, peel and sliver. Peel and sliver garlic. Place blachan in a
  non-stick pan and heat gently fro 3 to 4 minutes to develop the
  flavors.  Pell and cut red onions into wedges. Combine oyster, soy
  and chili sauces with blachan; stir into remaining tamarind liquid.
  Heat a large wok over high heat.  When a drop of water sizzles
  immediately into steam pour in 2 tablespoons of the oil. Swirl up
  sides of wok, and when just at smoking point, dump in ginger and
  garlic. Stir fry until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes.  Adding more oil
  as needed, stir frey shrimp in batches until orange red, about 3
  minutes. Pour sauces over all the shrimp in the wok and cook at a
  brisk bubble over high heat until shrimps are aromatic and sauces
  have reduced and thickened to enrobe the shells, about 8 minutes. Mix
  in sugar and onion wedges, taste to adjust seasoning, sweetening and
  spiciness.  Makes plenty for 6 as a principal dish with rice, enough
  for
        8    with other dishes.
