About
The title kinda self-explained the three main ingredients for this recipe. Shrimp, salt and pepper. Mom suggested to add a little bit sugar to balance out the flavor. Trust me, you won’t taste the sweetness but it surely makes a difference.
In addition, finely chopped ginger and garlic are going to complement each other and really bring out the nature flavor of shrimp. Add one Thai chili or dried chili to give it an extra kick. What are the key words for this recipe? Easy, quick and delicious!
