Blogwatch: Vietnamese Caramel Shrimp (Tom Rim)
This Vietnamese caramel shrimp recipe from Closet Cooking is the perfect opportunity to try your hand at using caramel in a savory dish. "Simmering or braising in nuoc mau (Vietnamese caramel sauce) is fairly common in Vietnamese cuisine." Kevin, the blog's proprietor, uses a relatively simple recipe to make the caramel and sauté the shrimp. Once you make the caramel, the dish comes together in less than ten minutes. Follow Kevin's example and serve it over coconut jasmine rice so it soaks up all that salty-sweet saucy goodness.

It was gonna be a shrimp pasta tonight, but this just struck me, and I had almost everything on hand. I used green onions instead of the shallots, but other than that, went as suggested, including the coconut rice. A great hit.
