5 Stars, absolutely delicious and simple. Note that 100 g of gingerroot is quite a lot, especially after peeling. Used a regular sake (but forgot to lay out the fresh cilantro garnish). Served with bluemoon downunder's Recipe #328694 #329704 and some white rice. At first we could only taste the sake in the sauce we poured over the rice, but on the second round it was quite noticeable and welcome on the shrimp. Thank you for posting this, Cook Food Mood. Made for Fall 2008 Pick-a-Chef.

<p>Born and bred in Singapore but currently living and working in Shanghai. Loves travelling and cooking, especially if its for the ones i love! Truth be told, there are few I enjoy cooking for as much as my partner who never cease to shower me with compliments with whatever I lay on the table! The sweetest man whose best dish thus far is his self-concorted mango prawn salad he's absolutely proud of, except he's not telling! <br /> <br />Really glad I came across this webbie by chance! Used to love tearing random recipes off magazines, and has recently took up experimenting recipes myself, so this is a great place for me to compile and store my dog-earred, gravy-stained recipes! It is a happy find considering one of my favourite pastime includes browsing and drooling over cookbooks at bookstores! I love that everyone's sharing here and kudos to other contributors who are definitely making me look like a real chef!</p>
