Pulo Pineapple Tamarind Crispy Shrimp

Pulo Pineapple Tamarind Crispy Shrimp recipe was invented because I was asked by Pulo Cuisine to try out some of their sauces. Their sauces are inspired from the 7,000 islands of the Philippines. So many recipes whirled around in my head. I used their Kare Kare Toasted Peanut Cooking Sauce right out of the gate. Just chunked up some chicken and add some veggies, like onions and peppers and cooked it up in their amazing sauce and served it over rice. Well, nothing could be easier and the whole family loved it. The entire meal was made in 20 minutes including rice. You can’t beat that for a quick and amazing weeknight meal!!

Next I wanted to try one of their delicious looking marinades. Hard to choose but I picked the Pineapple Tamarind Marinade. I wanted to do a little something around the theme of double dipping. Everyone loves to dip again and again but it is taboo!! With these luscious shrimp not only do you get your own dip that you can wholeheartedly dip away but they are already dipped (and marinated) once for you!! The sauce is robust and full of flavor.

Be happy and double, triple, quadruple dip!!

The shrimp are first marinaded in their lovely Pineapple Tamarind sauce then dunked in batter and fried up crispy. I learned that deep frying is very prevalent in Filipino cuisine and a real treat for us!! This dinner is special enough for company as a main course or an appetizer.

Served up with a lovely Pineapple Coconut Basmati Rice these shrimp will be your new favorite recipe!! They can be fried up in a deep fryer or wok until golden and crunchy!!
