🌶️ Sambal udang (chili prawns)

4 servings · prep 20 min · cook 20 min

Ingredients

• 600 g peeled prawns
• 10 fresh red chilies
• 5 shallots, 4 garlic cloves
• 3 tomatoes
• 1 tbsp shrimp paste (terasi), optional
• 2 tsp palm or brown sugar
• Juice of 1 lime
• Oil, salt

Method

1. Coarsely blend the chilies, shallots, garlic and tomatoes: the base should stay slightly grainy.
2. Heat 6 tbsp of oil and add the paste.
3. Cook 12 min over medium heat, stirring: it darkens and the oil eventually rises to the surface — the sign it is done.
4. Add the crushed shrimp paste and the sugar, give it 2 min.
5. Add the prawns and cook just 3 min, they toughen fast.
6. Finish with the lime juice off the heat, and serve with white rice.
