Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the sambal paste:
Blend the first 6 ingredients, after the shrimp, in a food processor and blend into a thick, chunky paste. You can also do this in a mortar & pestle by finely chopping the shallots, garlic and lemon grass & then pounding them with the garlic-ginger paste, belacan and ginger juice until you get the same chunky paste. Set aside
Heat 2 tbls of oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add shrimps & stir fry until just pink. Remove the shrimp & set aside
Add 1 tbl of oil, sambal paste, lemon juice, sugar and salt to the pan & saute until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Stir in coconut milk until blended and simmer for 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and simmer until they are fully cooked, about another minutes
