Inferno Shrimp

Submitted by ngdarlen

"After trying a hot and spicy shrimp dish at various Chinese buffets, I decided to re-create this favorite of mine at home.It fits well with Chinese themed menus, but I believe it would also be good marinated(in the same sauce you cook it in) skewered and grilled. Or if you are just in a shrimp mood, have it with whatever accompanyments, as it a very versatile dish and will fit into any menu. I think you hot and spicy fans will love this one."

Ang, this is a great recipe! We all loved it. I didn't have any chili paste so I used chili powder instead. I served the shrimp over rice. I will definitely make this dish often.
