Thai Sweet & Sour Shrimp

Today I bought shrimp from the market. My mother give me the idea for "Thai Sweet & Sour Shrimp". This spicy sweet and sour shrimp provides lots of tangy taste and depth of flavor, owing to the unique Thai combination of herbs and spices. It's very great if you have it with jasmine-scented rice...

Ingredients:
- 400 g shrimp or prawns, shells removed (tails can be left on)
- MARINADE : 1 tablespoon oyster sauce + 1 tablespoon sugar + 1 1/2 tablespoons chili sauce
- 1 green bell pepper, OR 1 green Anaheim pepper, sliced
- 1 1/2 cups pineapple chunks, fresh or canned
- 3 Tablespoons white wine or sherry (or cooking wine/sherry)
- 50 g garlic, minced
- 1 thumb-size piece ginger, grated or sliced up fine
- 3 kaffir lime leaves (fresh)
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons honey
- 1 Tablespoons lime juice
- 1/2 Tablespoon cayenne pepper (omit for a milder dish)
- 1 Tablespoon chili powder
- 3 Tablespoons fish sauce
- 1/2 Tablespoon ground white or black pepper
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 3 Tbsp. water
- GARNISH: generous handful fresh coriander

Directions:
1. Combine marinade ingredients and pour over the shrimp. Toss to coat and set aside.
2. Place 1-2 Tablespoons. oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger 1-2 minutes. Add a little wine/sherry when the pan becomes dry.
3. Add the green pepper and stir-fry 1 minute. Add wine or sherry as needed to keep ingredients frying nicely.
4. Reduce heat to medium. Add the lime leaves, tomato, coconut milk, honey, lime juice, cayenne pepper, chili power, fish sauce and pepper. Stir well to combine.
5. Add the shrimp and pineapple chunks. Simmer 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are pink and plump.
6. Add the cornstarch dissolved in water and stir well. Simmer 1 more minute, or until the sauce has thickened.
7. Taste-test the dish, adding more honey (or brown sugar) if you prefer it sweeter. If you prefer it saltier, add more fish sauce. If too sweet OR too salty add more lime juice.
8. Sprinkle over the fresh coriander and serve with plenty of jasmine-scented rice.
