SHRIMPLY DELISH- SHRIMP W/ CILANTRO AND SWEET & SOUR GLAZE
I copied this down from a friends cookboook. I will update after I find out the name of the chef :) These shrimp are a very pretty presentation. I will post picture as soon as I can. I tried to take a shortcut with these and bought the ginger and lemongrass in the little tubes. MUST BE FRESH. The glaze is a modern blend of spicy and tangy flavors with an asian accent.

Steps:
- Combine 1/3 cup of water, vinegar, lemongrass, ginger, lime zest and crushed red pepper in a small nonreactive saucepan. Dissolve the cornstarch in 1 Tbs water in a small bowl and add to the vinegar mixture using whisk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking at least twice. Boil for 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until chilled.
- Bring the remaining 12 cups of water and kosher salt to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until opaque in the center, about 3 minutes. Strain. Arrange on baking sheet with a lip. Refrigerate until partially chilled.
- To assemble: Peel the shrimp, leaving the tail attached. Cut a slit (1/2 to 1/4 inch deep) down the back of each shrimp from the top to the tail. Be careful not to cut completely through the shrimp. Rinse the shrimp in a bowl of cold water to remove the vein. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess water. Place a cilantro sprig in the cut of each shrimp. Brush with glaze before serving- I put remaining sauce in bowl on plate with shrimp :).

SWEET AND SOUR SHRIMP & VEGETABLES
This is my version of sweet & sour shrimp. I've tried and tried to find the exact recipe I was looking for but never found it, so I just made my own! I hope you enjoy it :) I like to use fresh pineapple, but if you cant thats fine. The chunks are optional... I use them sometimes, and othertimes I just leave them out. Dont use a lot of pineapple chunks, because its too overwhelming! :)

Steps:
- In a large skillet or in a wok, heat your oil to medium heat, and then add the carrot, tossing very frequently.
- Allow the carrot to cook for about 4 minutes.
- Then add your onion, and cook for another 4 minutes or so, and then add your garlic, cooking for another minute or so.
- In a liquid measuring cup, add your soy sauce, brown sugar, juice, vinegar and cayenne.
- Add your liquid mixture to the skillet and bring to a heavy simmer.
- Add your shrimp, and cook until your shrimp is done (pink on both sides) approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Don't overcook your shrimp.
- At this time, you can throw in your pineapple chunks if you wish to use them.
- While your shrimp is cooking, mix your cornstarch with approximately 4-5 tablespoons of water (just enough to make it a liquid mixture-you may need a little more or a little less because I never measure the amount of water I use).
- Add the cornstarch mixture to your pan, and sir constantly until thick- this will not take very long at all.
- You may turn your heat down to medium-low.
- Serve with rice.
- ENJOY!

Tips:
- Prep Ahead: Marinate the shrimp the night before or at least for 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the flavors to penetrate and tenderizes the shrimp.
- Sauce Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add water or broth to thin it out. If it's too thin, simmer it for a few minutes to reduce and thicken.
- Cook the Shrimp Properly: Avoid overcooking the shrimp, as they will become tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they turn opaque and pink.
- Serve Immediately: Sweet and sour shrimp is best served hot and fresh out of the pan. The sauce tends to thicken as it cools, so enjoy it while it's hot.
Conclusion:
Sweet and sour shrimp is an easy and delicious dish that's perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors is sure to please everyone. With a few simple ingredients and steps, you can create a restaurant-quality dish at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give sweet and sour shrimp a try.
