Thread: Mrs. Kerr’s Thai Sour and Spicy Shrimp

Preparing the Shrimp


^ Slice the suckers down the back and pull their poo vein out – stick a few toothpicks through the meat bit to hold them open


^ Steam the shrimp gently for about one beer so the meat is half cooked


^ Whack a load of garlic, chilli and lime juice all over the meat


^ Then put some chunks of orange or lime on top of the shrimp before putting them in a moderate oven for about two beers

Fish Balls

Mrs. Kerr recommends the trusty old fish ball to go with the shrimp. These are dead easy to make and if you do a few extra they make a great happy hour snack for the next few days. Just smash up some potatoes and mix it with a bit of fish and a few herbs and spices, roll it into small balls, coat with breadcrumbs, then bung them in some super hot oil.


^ Fish ball ingredients


^ Mix up all the bits and pieces


^ Coat in flower, then some egg, then breadcrumbs


^ Fry them for a few minutes before putting in the oven on moderate heat for about 2 beers

Time to Eat

The aromas these sour and spicy shrimp let off are friggin awesome and are the absolute friggin delish. Mrs. Kerr has perfected these for her new restaurant to open early next year, and she did the whole meal (less the grog) for 4 of us for 270 baht .


^ Serve it all up with leftover salad, beer, and a decent chardonnay


^ We washed this down with a bottle of South African plonk – worth giving a try if you see it in the supermarket

That looks damn good!
I can't look at it any more its making me feel starving hungry.

Why oh why did I open this thread. Looks bloody delicious and has now put me off me the roast chicken that I've been doing for me Sunday dinner.
