Was never any good at making candy, so I was afraid of the caramel sauce preparation, but it was easy. As described, adding the water hardened up the sugar and crackled and popped, but eventually it dissolved into the water. I also wasn't sure if it needed to stay warm as I prepared the rest of the recipe. It doesn't. Just wondering - only 1 tsp of the caramel sauce goes in the recipe, after making the sauce with 2 tbsp sugar and 2 tbsp water? I only did the 1 tsp, and now feel like it could have used more. Also, if I were going to do it again, I think I'd drop the shrimp in there maybe 3 minutes before the end, and if not serving all of it immediately, get the remainder out of the wok quickly! I had a bunch of large fresh shrimp that ended up pretty rubbery. Oh well... Made the 2nd recipe.

Are you refering to the chinese soup spoon because I tried to make this dish and the sugar stayed separated from the oil. The sugar caramelized on it's own and as soon as there was not heat, it hardened. What's the sauce supposed to look like? what do you mean by soup spoon?

The photography is terrific and makes my mouth water for everything I see. I can't wait to try these recipes. I have one request do you have a special "garlic Shrimp" recipe in a brown sauce. In most Asian restaurants I go to feature this dish and it's my #1 choice from the menu. I would like to try making it at home.
