Scale
  • 10 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup lime juice

Instructions

  1. Mix all the ingredients together.
  2. Warm it in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir a few minutes help dissolve the sugar.

  4. The key to Thai cooking is getting the flavor to what your taste buds enjoy. I prefer this sauce to taste more spicy and sour, but my sis-n-law likes it a little more sweet, so just make it whatever taste you enjoy the most!
  5. Bring 6 cups of water to boil.
  6. Add shrimp, and cook for 1-2 minutes until red.
  7. Drain shrimp.
  8. Dip the shrimp, and enjoy!
