It is one of those dishes that packs a punch using very little ingredients. Best served on a plate of steaming hot jasmine rice, this dish was made during my hungry bouts of drinking beer at home. The creamy texture of the shrimp lathered in a citrus buttery sauce was enough to satisfy the hunger of any drinker with the munchies.
What’s in the Fridge?
Normally after you drink a pint or two, signals between your stomach and brain urge the body to go into hunt mode for food. Like many other drinkers, this occurrence naturally happened to me.
