Shrimp Cooked with Star Fruit

---

Fresh shrimp combined with fresh star fruit is a great way to enjoy a healthy, fresh, and incredibly delicious meal at lunchtime. This dish often becomes our go-to when my husband and I are unsure what to eat. As a result, shrimp is a simple yet elegant option for a special meal.

Known as “asam udang goreng” (fried shrimp with tamarind), I’ve previously made a fresh, raw version of asam udang without cooking it. Of course, this is different—this type of asam udang is stir-fried, with the star fruit and other ingredients cooked in the stir-fry, resulting in a distinct flavor. Curious about the taste? Let’s take a look at the step-by-step preparation process.

Preparation Instructions

Soak the shrimp in salt for about 2 to 5 minutes, then prepare the shallots and garlic, and crush them until they are slightly coarse.

---

---

Next, boil the star fruit and chili peppers in boiling water until tender.

---

Add them to the previously crushed spices and blend until the star fruit is completely broken down.

---

---

Sauté the blended mixture until it releases a fragrant aroma.

Then add the lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves. Cook until the liquid has reduced, add the shrimp, and cook until done. Don’t forget to adjust the seasoning; once it’s just right, it’s ready to serve.

Result and Serving Suggestions

---

Serve on a serving plate, then pair with white rice. You’ll enjoy a delicious sour shrimp stir-fry. The flavor is truly unique—sour, sweet, and savory from the shrimp. I intentionally didn’t add any flavor enhancer because the shrimp already has a natural umami taste.

---

This is my family’s favorite dish—it’s truly delicious. With its authentic flavor, it’s sure to be a hit and perfect for lunch. I guarantee this dish will have you polishing off plenty of rice—it’s that good.
