Hey guys! It’s so crazy we’re almost done with summer! Today we’re making one of the quickest and yummiest meals, Tôm Rim (Vietnamese Caramelized Shrimp).

If you don’t know Tôm Rim is marinated shrimp cooked in a sweet, salty and umami sauce. I like to butterfly my shrimp for this recipe. It takes a little bit longer to prep them this way but they taste more delicious and they also look so much prettier. To do so take a pair of kitchen shears, cut down the backside til before you hit the tail and then take a knife and cut (halfway into the shrimp) along the back as well. Don’t forget to remove the poops!

It takes about 15 minutes to make this recipe and it goes super amazing with rice and veggies such as cucumbers or lettuce as sides.

As always the recipe is below see you next time!
