Recipe Redesign - Thai Lemon Shrimp

Thai Lemon Shrimp

Thai Lemon Shrimp (Goong Maa Now) is a simple recipe that is sweet, sour, hot and salty all in one which is typical of most Thai dishes. It is basically shrimp in a lemony sweet chilli sauce. 

It is versatile in that it can be eaten as a starter or as part of a main meal served with rice or noodles.

This recipe appealed to me for this exercise because it's quick and has punchy elements of colour and taste to it.
