Ingredients

10 items

  • 500 g Baby shrimp
  • 4 cups Water leaves
  • 3 Chili peppers (3 pieces, less or more to preference)
  • 1/2 Green bell pepper
  • Garlic (as many cloves as you like)
  • 1/2 thumb-sized piece Ginger
  • Spring onions (white parts for the sauce, green parts diced to garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons Fish sauce (use less salt if replacing)
  • Lemon juice (fresh; Rayo says it in the video but it is not in her written list)

Instructions

4 steps

  1. Blend the chili peppers, green bell pepper, garlic, ginger and the white parts of the spring onions with the lemon juice, sesame oil and fish sauce.
  2. In a baking tray, stack the water leaves, then the shrimp, and pour the blended sauce over them.
  3. Place the tray in the air fryer oven at 200°C and cook until the shrimp are just done. Do not overcook them: overcooked shrimp turn tough and rubbery.
  4. Garnish with the diced green parts of the spring onions and serve over pasta.
