Cambodian Lemongrass Shrimp
October 25th, 2010Recipes, 30-Minute Meals, Recipes, Sponsorship27 Comments
During my childbirth confinement, I missed eating seafood so much, especially my favorite shrimp. So, there was no surprise that as soon as the confinement ended, I headed straight to my favorite seafood restaurant and had a feast of seafood meal. I have also resumed cooking, albeit in a small way as I am adjusting to motherhood and my new lifestyle. Needless to say, seafood has been a big part of my diet lately. It’s great to finally return to a normal diet, but time is scarce these days as I dedicate most of my time to my baby, so cooking elaborately and everything-from-scratch will have to take a back seat for the time being…
I think you might remember my Indonesian mie goreng (fried noodles) post not too long ago. After trying out World Foods mie goreng instant paste, I like their products so much that I’ve decided to work with them on a couple of new recipes.
I made this shrimp dish with World Foods Indochina Cambodian Pineapple Lemon Grass Stir-Fry Sauce. As it’s an instant sauce, I dressed things up a bit—some coconut milk, bird’s eye chilies, and basil leaves to complete the taste. The dish took about 30 minutes to make and fit my tight schedules perfectly, and the big plus is that the end result is quite authentic and satisfying.

Lemongrass Shrimp
I am lucky that I live in Orange County because I can pretty much get all the ingredients I want at the many ethnic food stores here. Whenever I want to cook Chinese, there is 99 Ranch Market. When I am in the mood for Japanese food, I go to Mitsuwa or Marukai. And when I need ingredients for Malaysian,…
Thai Coconut Galangal Seafood
If you follow this blog, you know that I recently discovered WorldFoods (from my mie goreng post) and am working with them on a couple of recipes. Previously, I posted a Cambodian Lemongrass Shrimp recipe. This is another recipe that I would like to share with you using another WorldFoods ready-made sauce—Thai Coconut Galangal Stir-Fry Sauce. This sauce is a…
Shrimp with Curry Leaves
It is not easy to come by fresh curry leaves here in Orange County. So whenever they are available at the local Indian grocery store, I rarely let the opportunity to whip up something spicy slip by, especially during the winter months. The curry leaf is one of the many Indian influences that blends really well into Malaysian cuisine, which…
Kung Pao Shrimp (Kung Pao Prawn/宫保虾) Recipe
I am back after spending 3 weeks in Asia, including a few busy days in Penang which I wished I had stayed longer. Though it was a very short trip, I am very glad that a couple Rasa Malaysia readers and a good friend came to visit. It was great to be a culinary guide taking them to sample all…

Wow, this dish looks good. Can I use regular white shrimp?
Yes, you can.
By the way, where can I get this product? I love Asian food but too scared to make everything from scratch.
You can check out the website of World Foods and see if you can get the products at Whole Foods. If not, you can always buy online.
Bee that looks ah-mazing! I’ll be looking for the Pineapple Lemongrass stir-fry sauce!
Thanks Paula. :)
Bee, this looks absolutely delicious! And simple to make:) The basil leaves give the dish a nice touch.
Also, glad to hear that you’re finally over the confinement period. Must be a worthwhile challenge & I bet normal food cannot taste any better.

Wowo i love shrimps too and this just look drooley Delicious, i should check out that sauce too.

Oh, my…
Look at those plump, juicy shrimps. I can just imagine how good they will taste. I love the idea of doctoring up with store bought sauce. Thanks for sharing.
Creamy and so flavourful! I think I’d miss my seafood too!
I tested this recipe. It’s really delicious, but as my stomach handles sea food badly I made this one with chicken. It turned out really delicious too. Time to present girlfriend some asian flavors out of the unusual.
Those pictures are amazing! Made my mouth water.
hi, editor for rasa malaysia. may i call you Bee? congratulation ! a new mother . how wonderful. enjoy! i like your website. keep up the good work. if you are breastfeeding, keep away from coconut milk dishes . keep well.
This dish looks great ! Definitely appetizing!
How delicious does this dish look. I am a total sucker for prawns. They happen to be my favourite food! This looks so full of flavour!
Looks delicious!
How long is the total cooking time? I’m concerned about overcooking the prawns. Thanks!
Cook until the prawns curl up and turn opaque.
It looks so tasty, my hubby would go nuts on this. The shrimp is so mouth-watering, the pics makes me crave.
I love shrimp dishes! I love your blog! :)
Bee- I missed this dish on my birthday-October 25th! And I’ve been in an Asian dish, several week binge- can’t get enough of Asian flavors.
I think I’ll try a local Sacramento artisan lemon grass stir fry sauce from Mai Pham (Lemon Grass Restaurant). Check out a discussion of Mai and her sauces on my post here: http://sacatomato.com/have-you-tried-lemon-grass-kitchen-sauces. I think Mai’s sauce will work great with your Lemon Grass Shrimp!
I have been saving my favourite recipe in Delicous bookmark.
Can you please include it
Thank you .
I love Cambodian cuisine but do not get to eat it nearly enough. I will be making this very soon!
Sounds yummy! I’m going to try this weekend.
What is the serving size 4, 6, 8?? It helps to know how many servings each recipe makes.
I made this, but couldn’t find the stir fry sauce. Instead, I found a “spicy pineapple sauce” and added my own crushed lemongrass. OMG. This is amazing! Thanks!!!
