Vietnamese Caramelized Shrimp
Serving Size: 4
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 pounds extra large shrimp, peeled and de-veined
  • 3 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
Instructions
  1. Combine fish sauce, dark brown sugar, crushed red pepper flakes and water in a bowl and whisk until brown sugar is dissolved.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook a few minutes more. Do not brown.
  3. Turn heat up to medium-high and add shrimp. Cook, stirring frequently, until shrimp are just barely pink and still translucent in spots, a few minutes.
