Chilli Red Shrimp

After eating dinner at Jumbo Seafood (see generally 15.357 Lobster Braised with Superior Broth), I had purchased a packet each of their black pepper crab sauce, which I used previously as a dipping sauce for lobster (see generally 15.358 Steamed Lobster), and their chilli crab sauce, which I used tonight with shrimp.

Unsure whether the award is for this product or the actual chilli crab served at the restaurant.

The sauce was good.  Nowhere near as good as the real thing, but a close approximation out of a box.  Better than the product by Prima Taste that I’ve used in the past (see for example 11.323 Chilli Lobster).

Part of a Chineseish spread, including Mongolian beef and egg drop soup.

However, I didn’t do so well with the shrimp.  The same sashimi-grade shrimp that had worked very well in a delicate Cantonese-style stir-fry (see generally 15.364 Red Shrimp with Deep-Fried Doufu , Bamboo Shoots, Broccoli in Eggy Gravy), they seemed somewhat overwhelmed when smothered in a strong sauce.  Also a shade undercooked, which left them somewhat limp.

I kept the leftover sauce.  Stay tuned.
