I thought it was a bit oily for my taste, so next time I would use less oil maybe about a half cup. I used 3 heaping tablespoons of Ortego hot chopped Jalopenos…I would use more next time..it was ok but I like it hotter. It was fine for those who dont like it really hot. frances *the needler*

Assam Spicy Shrimp

1 x —–marinating—–

1 1/2 c Water

2 lb Headless shrimp

1 T Oyster sauce

1/2 t Hot chili sauce

6 oz Tamarind

1 x —–cooking—–

3 oz Young ginger root

4 ea Large garlic cloves

1 t Blachan

2 ea Small red onions

3 T Oyster sauce

1 T Dark soya sauce

1 T Hot chili sauce

3 T Oil

1/4 c Packed brown sugar

MARINATING: Break tamarind apart, place in a small saucepan with water. Simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes or until pasty coating separates from seeds. Press through a sieve or food mill to extract all pulp and soupy liquid. Discard seeds. Rinse shrimps thoroughly, pat dry and marinate fro 1 hour with 1 tablespoon of this tamarind liquid, the oyster sauce and hot chili sauce. COOKING: Meanwhile, cut young ginger into toothpick-sized slivers. If using mature ginger, peel and sliver. Peel and sliver garlic. Place blachan in a non-stick pan and heat gently fro 3 to 4 minutes to develop the flavors. Pell and cut red onions into wedges. Combine oyster, soy and chili sauces with blachan; stir into remaining tamarind liquid. Heat a large wok over high heat. When a drop of water sizzles immediately into steam pour in 2 tablespoons of the oil. Swirl up sides of wok, and when just at smoking point, dump in ginger and garlic. Stir fry until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Adding more oil as needed, stir frey shrimp in batches until orange red, about 3 minutes. Pour sauces over all the shrimp in the wok and cook at a brisk bubble over high heat until shrimps are aromatic and sauces have reduced and thickened to enrobe the shells, about 8 minutes. Mix in sugar and onion wedges, taste to adjust seasoning, sweetening and spiciness. Makes plenty for 6 as a principal dish with rice, enough for 8 with other dishes.

Spicy Island Chicken

1 c Chicken, cooked

2 1/4 c Water

1 ts Garlic powder

1/2 ts Curry powder

2 ts Lime juice

1 pk Chicken-flavor noodles/sauce

8 oz Green beans, frozen

1 tb Coconut, flaked

Shred chicken. Stir together water, garlic, curry, and lime juice. Bring to boil, then stir in noodles and green beans. Continue boiling over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 7 minutes or until noodles are tender. Stir in chicken and coconut; heat through. Sylvia’s comments: In spite of its name, this was more flavorful than spicy. For a more fiery effect, use more curry powder.

Cold Spicy Tomato Soup with Avocado and Chives

1 1/2 pound ripe tomatoes

1 garlic clove

1/2 cup well-chilled chicken or vegetable broth

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

salt and freshly ground black pepper a lime — to taste , juice of tabasco — or to taste 1/2 california avocado — cut into 1/2-inch

– dice 2 teaspoons minced fresh chives

Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Core each tomato and cut a small “x” in the skin on the opposite end. Lower 2 or 3 tomatoes into the boiling water and let blanch for 15 to 20 seconds or until the skins start to peel. Immediately transfer the tomatoes to a large bowl of iced water. Blanch the remaining tomatoes in the same manner. Peel each tomato by pulling the skins off with a paring knife. Cut each tomato in half crosswise and squeeze out the seeds. Coarsely chop the seeded tomatoes.

In a blender or food processor puree the garlic clove and the chopped tomatoes. Add the broth, cumin, salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon lime juice, continuing to puree until smooth. Pour the soup into a metal bowl, set the bowl in a bowl of iced water, and stir the soup occasionally until it is very cold. Taste and adjust seasoning with Tabasco, salt, pepper and lime juice. Divide the avocado and the chives between two chilled bowls and ladle the soup over them.
