Shrimp "Garlic" with sweet and sour sauce

Ingredients specified in the recipe will beenough to prepare three or four servings. If you plan to feed a large company, naturally, you will have to calculate the necessary number of products yourself. However, this is not difficult, especially if you make the first dish for a test - then the next time you can already navigate "by eye", how much and what to put. Ingredients:

• one kilogram of fresh peeled (preferably large) shrimp
• seven large spoons of starch
• table salt - to taste
• three tablespoons of water
• 130 milliliters of olive oil (recommended to use refined, as it does not give the products a bitter taste)
• four garlic cloves
• 15 grams of granulated sugar
• small spoon of hot chili
• rice vinegar - one teaspoon
• ½ tablespoon of dry wine (recommended to use red)
• 1/3 cup of tomato not too sour sauce or juice

Cooking method: This recipe involves using a fairly large amount of garlic, but if you want the taste of the dish to be softer and more gentle, take it a little less. Grind the product with a special press or cut into very small cubes. Now, heat the frying pan and pour into it the amount of oil indicated in the recipe, wait until it warms up. In order not to waste time, pour starch onto the work surface and roll every shrimp in it. They do not have to be boiled at all, but if you decide to do this, throw the product into slightly salted boiling water and keep it for no longer than three minutes, then put it into a colander and let it drain. Seafood "will reach" directly during frying. So, send them to the hot oil and cook, not forgetting to turn from one side to the other - then they will evenly brown and look incredibly appetizing. Shrimps are very quickly prepared - in about two to three minutes. Remember, if you overexpose them, instead of the expected juicy dish you will get something that closely resembles rubber. Therefore, as soon as they curl up into a ring and acquire a yellowish-orange hue, remove them from the plate. When you fully cope with the task, shift the seafood to a plate covered with a paper towel. Leave them for fifteen minutes to leave excess fat. Wash the frying pan, pour a little oil on it and brown it, then pour out the sugar, a few pinch of salt and chili. Mix well, and when the vegetable gets an amber tint, enter rice vinegar, tomato juice (or paste), the amount of water and dry wine specified in the recipe. The mixture should not be too liquid, so we recommend adding a tablespoon of starch. Prepare the sauce with constant stirring, then put the shrimp into it and cook under the closed lid for no longer than five minutes. Try the dish for taste - you have enough sugar and salt, if you want, you can add a little spice. A very unusual aroma gives the dishes fresh basil and coriander. On the garnish, boil the rice, distribute it on plate plates, lay the hot prawns on top and pour everything with an appetizing red-orange sauce. As an ornament, use a green onion, cut into thin rings, or curly parsley. Bon Appetit!
