Udang Tumis Pedas - Spicy Shrimp Stirfry

Shrimps never fail to impress, and they are really quick to cook, a perfect dish to master if you need to entertain guests and running short on time :) I think whole shrimps, with heads and tails intact (already deveined of course) looks the best presentation wise, so that’s how I choose to prepare my shrimps for this dish. But don’t be afraid to just remove the heads, shells, and even the tails of the shrimps since it does make eating those shrimps easier. ;)

    Very easy. Served at breakfast with the stir fried tomato scrambled eggs recipe as well. Used kecap manis instead of regular soy sauce and sugar.
