SHRIMP AND BANANA
Steps:
- Sear the shrimp on one side in a skillet on medium-high heat with a little bit of vegetable oil, salt and pepper. Add the shallots and garlic. Once the shrimp are partially cooked, after about 1 minute, remove from the skillet. Next, add the bananas and break up the bananas with tongs while sauteing to essentially mash. Saute for 1 minute.
- Add the water/soy mix, sambal and honey and saute another minute until heated through. Return the shrimp to the skillet and finish cooking, 2 to 3 minutes. Finish with the lime juice and cilantro, and then season again if necessary.
- Spoon the banana sauce into bowls. A small concave vessel with a large bell is best. Place 5 shrimp to a bowl on top of the sauce. Garnish with onion sprouts.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent your food from burning.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking shrimp or vegetables, make sure to leave enough space in the pan so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the shrimp just until they are opaque: Overcooking will make them tough and chewy.
- Use ripe bananas: Ripe bananas will give your curry a sweeter, more flavorful taste.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked.
