Great recipe! Please do not think I changed it, but instead of black pepper I added a little dried crushed red pepper flakes. I kept the heads on my shrimps, purely because (according to better cooks than me) it adds to the end flavour. (In South Africa shrimps, better known as prawns, are almost always served shell and head on, and the best tasting ones come from Mozambique. In this case those were not available, and I used Indian farmed prawns which are fairly tastless! But I did peel the bodies). Your sauce cannot be faulted. The balance of flavours is perfect. I did add a little water when simmering the sauce, purely because I think I had more shrimp than your specified 1 lb, and the sauce was not quite enough. I made brown basmati rice, and not white rice. This was a delicious meal, and I cannot understand why your recipe has so far gone unnoticed!! Thanks for posting, we had a delicious dinner! (I also made a salad with varied ingredients).

I have made a similar shrimp dish for many years. The recipe is almost the same as the one I make. I just add 2 tablespoons Ketchup and 1 tablespoon Sriracha or Szchechuan peppercorns ground to the mix. The ketchup gives it tang and the peppercorns or Sriracha give it the heat. Otherwise this recipe is the same, just less soy sauce.

The sauce for this shrimp is delicious, and it is a simple, quick recipe to make. Like the other person who reviewed, I substituted the black pepper for a couple shakes of red pepper flakes, just because of my personal preference. I will definitely make this recipe again, and share it with others.
