  1. Delightful! This was such a flavorful recipe - raves from the boyfriend. I didn't really end up deep frying the shrimp - I just sauteed it in the cornstarch/ginger/etc mixture to reduce fat. Delicious!
     
  2. Yeah, this was YUMMY! I thought the cilantro would be too much, but it was actually perfect. I even brought a bite over to my neighbor who loved it - as did my two year old twins. Thanks!
     
  3. Delicious. Make it easy on yourself and have all of your ingredients chopped/measured so that the cooking process runs smoothly and quickly; chopping in during the cooking could allow time for ingredients to burn and turn bitter (especially garlic!) We put ours over rice noodles and it was perfect!
     
  4. I made this the other night and it was delicious!!! Full of flavor! I didn't have the ginger or garlic paste so I used fresh and it was outstanding! I will definatley make this again when I have friends over for dinner!
     
  5. It was okay...was missing something.

Tweaks

  1. I made a few changes to this recipe and used a cocktail Sauce instead of Tomato Sauce and doubled the quantity of each Ingredient for the Sauce as it was pretty dry the first time i tried this.
     
  2. Great flavor. I substituted ketchup for the tomato paste and it came out very nicely I'd double the recipe for sauce next time. It didn't seem like much.

I know that because they told me so... hehehe...I live in the eternal city of lights, Las Vegas, Nevada. I stopped working about 3 years ago when I had some personal situations requiring my attention. I do love pizza, especially cold for breakfast the next day.. Since I discovered Zaar, I now prepare a large family meal once a month and I enjoy saving recipes and passing them on to my daughter. Most of the dishes are from Recipezaar.. so thank you very much. I have a good housekeeping cookbook that's about 40 years old and I love it... I have recipes I have saved over the years and have posted some of them. My pet peeve???? hmmmm that would have to be rude or inconsiderate people. Another pet peeve is people who "tell it like it is".
