Litchi shrimps





















A week ago I went to a Thai restaurant with my cousins.
We ordered a curry beef, one ingredient that I didn't expect was litchi.
I'm not a fan of this fruit, but a dish with litchi was not bad at all.
Now I'm gonna show you what I made tonight!























Ingredients
Shrimps                  10 pieces
Tinned litchi            1 tin
Leek                      1
Tomato paste         1 tablespoon
Garlic(chopped)     2 gloves
Oil                         2 tablespoon
Soy sauce              1 tablespoon
Wine                      1 tablespoon
Salt                         a pinch

Marinade shrimps
Corn starch            1 teaspoon
Pepper                   a pinch
Salt                        a pinch
Sesame oil              1 teaspoon
Oil                          1 teaspoon



Ok, let's get started!

Cut the leek into small pieces.
Boil some water.
Put a pinch of salt and leek into the pan. 
Cook it for 2 minutes.
Remove the water and put the leek on a plate.



















Peel the shrimps. 
Remove the gut of the shrimps. 
Let the water of the shrimp soak into a kitchen paper.
Marinade the shrimps. (see marinade shrimps)




 














Heat the wok and put 2 tablespoon of oil in it.





Put the garlic and tomato paste in the wok.







Put the shrimps into the wok.
Cook them.



















Put a tablespoon of wine in the wok.









 









Put the leek in the wok and stir.



















At the end put a tablespoon of soy sauce in the wok. 
Put the litchi in the wok and stir it for 30 seconds.
Serve it with a plate.



















Enjoy!!!

Litchi in combination with shrimps?
Very strange combination but I think it's worth to try... but I can't always buy litchi's where I live.. That's very bad..

I always have to travel because of my work, I really hope someday someone can make delicious food for me when I'm home..
