Salty-sweet and garlicky, it's the perfect dish to serve any night of the week. Also beautiful enough to serve at a party as an appetizer or finger food. Serve with Sriracha sauce for additional heat!
Stem Cilantro. Combine cilantro leaves and garlic in food processor and process into a paste.
In a large heavy skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add cilantro paste and stir for 2 minutes.
Add shrimp and stir until coated with paste mixture, about 1 minute.
Add water, fish sauce, sugar and vinegar. Simmer until shrimp is pink, curled and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove shrimp with slotted spoon.
Bring sauce to a boil and add dissolved cornstarch. Cook and stir until thickened, about 3 minutes.
Put shrimp back into pan just to heat through. Add pepper to taste.
Spoon garlic shrimp over rice and garnish with cucumber slices if desired.
You may also substitute a bag of mixed seafood (Shrimp, squid, langostino, mussels, etc.)
