Sweet Chili Shrimps

Shrimp is always a favorite in my place.Thank God, no one has developed allergies or we would have missed such a Delicacy. It's a quick cooking and easy to make which comes handy always when there is a temptation for meat. I used to make a lot of recipes out of it. The other day I wasn't in a mood to cook but wanted to eat something meaty. So  I thought of this recipe from  my friend Thahira's blog (You can find her version at anjaraipetti-thahira.blogspot.com) It looked pretty easy and quick. I changed the recipe a bit to taste our palette. Adding chopped ginger and garlic gives a different taste and I loved the jalapenos in it. If there is no sweet soy sauce available you can substitute with brown sugar and regular soy sauce. Hope you will enjoy the recipe.
