Tamarind Sweet & Sour Shrimp

Total time:
35 minutes

Get your mouth ready for this Arnold original recipe! This Tamarind sweet and sour shrimp stir fry combines two Thai dishes: Pla Rad Prik, which is a fried fish dish topped with a sweet chili glaze, and Mee Krob, which is a deep-fried rice noodle tossed in a sweet and sour sauce.

The secret to this stir fry is the awesome sweet and spicy Tamarind sauce. Use again as a dipping sauce for anything from chicken nuggets to spring rolls!
