Ingredients
- A pound of sizable frozen shrimp with their tails delicately removed
- A generous half cup of butter for that luxurious touch
- Three cloves of garlic, minced finely to your liking
- Half a lemon, juiced and divided for a zesty kick
- One and a half teaspoons of butter for a velvety finish
- Three-quarters of a cup of chopped onion to enhance flavors
- Half a cup of sambal oelek, the vibrant Indonesian red chile paste
- Three cups of water to bring everything together
- Three cups of sushi rice for a perfect base
- A half bunch of green onions, chopped for a pop of color and freshness
Step 1
Thaw the shrimp by placing them in a large bowl of cold water for around 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 2
Start by melting half a cup of butter in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl. Heat it in the microwave for short 15-second intervals, which will take about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Incorporate minced garlic and half of the lemon juice into the melted butter for added flavor.
Step 3
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt a portion of butter and sauté finely chopped onions until they turn translucent, which should take approximately 5 minutes. Add the thawed shrimp, the prepared garlic butter mixture, and a touch of spicy sambal oelek. Keep stirring and cooking until the garlic is fragrant, and the shrimp are thoroughly heated, for about 7 to 8 minutes.
Step 4
In a separate saucepan, bring water and sushi rice to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook until the rice becomes tender, which usually takes around 15 minutes. Let it sit off the heat, covered, for an additional 10 minutes to allow the remaining liquid to be fully absorbed.
Step 5
To serve, layer the flavorful shrimp over a bed of cooked rice. Drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the dish and garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh finish.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Streamline your storage with a designated shelf or drawer for essential ingredients like chili paste, garlic, and shrimp, making them easily accessible for whenever the craving for spicy shrimp sambal strikes.
- 2. Keep your dried spices, such as cumin and turmeric, in sealed containers to preserve their flavor and potency, adding a punch of aromatic goodness to your sambal.
