GRANDMA CASSIE'S SHRIMP ÉTOUFéE
This dish reminds me of home and discovery. Not only is it the first dish I learned how to make from start to finish, it is a dish that exemplifies the beauty of creole cooking. Toast the roux too little, it will be too thick, toast the roux too much, and you have an entirely different dish. When it all comes together it's magic, and this recipe is wizardry 101.

THAI-STYLE SWEET AND SALTY SHRIMP
Made of equal parts sugar, fish sauce and vinegar, the sauce in the famous pad Thai at Kris Yenbamroong's Night + Market restaurants in Los Angeles is too good to be used exclusively on rice noodles. This adaptation is simmered with a tangle of shrimp, peanuts, scallions, chile and lime juice for for a sweet, salty stir-fry. Add a quick cooking vegetable, like peas, thinly sliced asparagus or bean sprouts, with the shrimp, or substitute tofu, salmon or cubed boneless chicken thighs for the shrimp. Serve over shredded cabbage, rice, a roasted sweet potato or rice noodles.

SASSY SEASONED SHRIMP
I came up with this recipe for the Mixing Pot Challenge of the Zaar World Tour 6. I tried to represent my team "A Seasoned Sailor and his Sassy Sirens" in an Asian marinade that is great for shrimp. Its zesty and sweet, and has a bit of kick, just like our team. I used the marinade for grilled shrimp, I also tried it sauteed and liked the grilling method best. I recommend saving out about 1/4 cup of the marinade as a dipping sauce for the grilled shimp. We served it with fried rice as a side dish, but this would also make a wonderful appetizer! If you like it spicy, use 4 tablespoons of the chili garlic sauce. I used 3 and it was a little spicy but I could have gone hotter. You can also add some crushed red pepper to kick it up. Prep time includes marinating time.

Steps:
- Mix first eight ingredients in a bowl (or simply put all in a large ziploc and squish to mix). You can reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade as a dipping sauce.
- Put the marinade in a large ziploc bag and add shrimp.
- Marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours.
- Take shrimp out of bag and thread onto skewers.
- Grill over medium high heat for about 4 minutes each side, or until shrimp are done.
- Serve with reserved marinade as a dipping sauce.
Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you must use frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Clean the shrimp properly. Devein the shrimp and remove the shells. Rinse the shrimp thoroughly under cold water.
- Use a hot skillet. A hot skillet will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from sticking.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet. If you overcrowd the skillet, the shrimp will not cook evenly.
- Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side. Shrimp cook quickly, so do not overcook them. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
- Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what will really make your shrimp shine. Use a sauce that is sweet, sassy, and slightly spicy.
- Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp are best when served immediately after cooking. They can be served over rice, noodles, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Sweet Sassy Shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful sauce that is sure to please everyone. This dish can be served over rice, noodles, or vegetables.
