Delicious stir-fried shrimp with sour starfruit.

With the salty taste of shrimp, the sourness of starfruit, and the spiciness of chili and pepper, this simple meal is truly delicious.

- 500g fresh shrimp (or dried krill).

- 2 ripe, slightly sour starfruit.

- 3 shallots, 2 sprigs of green onions.

Seasonings: Fish sauce, sugar, seasoning powder, MSG, ground pepper, chili (optional), cooking oil.

Preparation:

Wash the shrimp thoroughly, remove any grit, and drain.

Wash the starfruit thoroughly and slice it into thick rounds, about 1/4 of a finger thick, for a crisp texture and mild sourness without becoming mushy. Avoid slicing it too thinly as it will easily break apart. Also, don't slice it too thickly as it will have difficulty absorbing the flavor of the starfruit pulp.

Peel and thinly slice the shallots. Wash and cut the scallions into sections.

Stir-fried shrimp

Heat a pan, add cooking oil, and sauté the shallots until fragrant. Add the shrimp and stir-fry over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp turn golden brown.

Add the starfruit and stir well, cook for another 3-5 minutes. Season with 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons seasoning powder, a little MSG, pepper, and chili. When the shrimp are firm and evenly seasoned, add the scallions, stir quickly, then turn off the heat.

Presentation: Arrange the dish in a deep plate and sprinkle with pepper for added flavor.
