Goong Raad Prig Manao (Steamed Prawn dressed with Lemon Juice sauce)

After having tasted the dish at Absolute Thai, Chennai, I went on a hunting spree for the recipe on the internet and finally found one closer to the dish: http://www.joysthaifood.com/seafood/goong-raad-prig-manao-steamed-big-shrimp-wlemon-sauce/. I tweaked it a little to try the Absolute Thai dish and it came out pretty well! 

Ingredients:
  • 15 medium or big prawn, deveined and cleaned 
  • 1 small bitter gourd
  • 2 tbsp minced ginger
  • 2 or 3 red chili peppers
  • 4 shallot, minced
  • 10 big garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 tsp brown sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 5 or 6 tbsp lemon juice
  • 4 to 5 tbsp fish sauce
Preparation:
  • Cut the bitter gourd lengthwise, remove the inside part and clean well. Cut the ends and remove them. Dice the halves into 1/2 cm pieces.
  • Soft boil in water and drain.
  • Place the prawn in a steamer rack and place the ginger on top.
  • Steam for about 5 minutes, remove from flame and keep aside.
  • Dress the bitter gourd around the dish.
  • Mix all other ingredients and adjust for taste. It must have a mix of bitter, sweet, salty and sour taste.
