Spicy Budoo - Nam Budoo Song Kreung
Ingredients
- 3-5 Thai chili pepper, sliced
- 2 shrimp, minced
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons nam budoo
- 1 lime
- 1-2 stalks lemon grass, thinly sliced
- 2 kaffir lime leaves, thinly sliced
substitutions
- You will find that you can tailor the sauce to your own preferences. You might want to add more lime juice or more shallot. My mother would add more lemon grass than what I listed here.
- Peel and devein shrimp. Cut the shrimp up into small pieces. Heat budoo sauce over a medium heat. Let it boil and add shrimp. Remove from heat when shrimp is cooked. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes.
- Slice shallot, lemon grasses, kaffir lime leaves and chili peppers thinly. I use two stalks of lemon grass for small stalk and one for a large one. Squeeze the lime juice in the pot. Add the sliced ingredients to the pot or serving bowl. Mix well. Serve with rice and vegetables such as Thai eggplants, stinky beans, cucumbers, green beans and any leafy vegetables.
