Originally, this was going to be garlic beef, but I fucked up by not checking the steak before starting. After sauting my veggies for the stir fry, I took the steak out of its package only to find that it fucking reeked (it didn't look bad, it just didn't smell right). So I decided to try something else and this is what I came up with. This should explain some of the discontinuity in the pics (why is there fucking broccoli in the pic but not in the recipe).

Originally, this was going to be garlic beef, but I fucked up by not checking the steak before starting. After sauting my veggies for the stir fry, I took the steak out of its package only to find that it fucking reeked (it didn't look bad, it just didn't smell right). So I decided to try something else and this is what I came up with. This should explain some of the discontinuity in the pics (why is there fucking broccoli in the pic but not in the recipe).

Oh, here's a bonus pic of the veggies I ended up tossing -

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb Shrimp (36/40)
  • 1/2 Pineapple
  • 1 can Mandarin Oranges
  • 2 Tbsp Ginger (minced)
  • 5 cloves Garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1 large Shallot (finely chopped)
  • 1 Chilli (finely chopped)
  • juice from 1 Lemon
  • 1/4 cup Brandy
  • 3 Tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Orange Extract
  • 2 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp Corn Starch

Method

(Disregard the broccoli, onion, and green onions)

Cut the top and bottom off of the pineapple. Shave the peel off, save a few disks for garnish and cut the remainder in half. Cut one half into tidbits.

Fsmr3.jpg

Peel and clean the shrimp.

Fsmr4.jpg

Saute a small bit of the garlic and ginger in some vegetable oil.

Add the lemon juice and wait for the pan to get sizzeling hot again. Add the shrimp and pineapple. Saute until the shrimp is just about cooked. In order to safely flambe the shrimp (or anything for that matter) make sure you are using 80 proof alcohol - anything higher and you'll be without eyelashes. If using a gas stove, pour the brandy in away from the burner. You should also be able to properly saute something without splashing it everywhere to flambe, so don't blame me if you burn your house down. Anyways, on to the fun.

Pour the brandy into the pan, and give it a second to heat up. Ignite it either by tipping the edge of the pan towards the burner if using a gas stove, or, if using electric, take a match and ignite the fumes around the edge of pan.

(I turned off my lights so that the flame would show up)

After a few minutes, the alcohol should be burned off leaving you with something like this:

Fsmr7.jpg

Put the shrimp and pineapple on the side, and heat up some more oil. Add the garlic, shallots, chilli, and ginger.

Fsmr8.jpg

Drain the syrup from the oranges into the mixture. Add the soy sauce, orange extract, rice vinegar, and sugar (these are just estimates, you may need to play around with the measurements).
