Truly beautiful photography and a wonderfully easy recipe. Thank you! And (ahem…) now I shall go back to searching for my own name.

Cool recipe. I just found your blog while looking around for other shrimp recipes. I just recently posted a recipe for Caramel and Ginger Shrimp that I adapted from “The Spended Table” cookbook and posted it on my blog @ http://cookingquest.wordpress.com if you would like to come take a look. I love feedback and other cook’s opinions for sure.

Thanks and have a great one!

this looks great! I love the addition of avocado- I love it with grilled shrimp and I imagine it goes beautifully with the flavor of tamarind. This is a must-try for me.

I have the same question as Susan. Also, a lot of the tamarind stuff I see on store shelves is sweetened. I assume that’s wrong for this recipe?

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Marc! A lot of my stuff is really in “no recipe” territory, in that Greek cooks just make the dishes from memory with slightly different amounts every time. Of course, like you, I have to post an actual recipe for the reader who’s never had the dish or has had it but isn’t sure how to get started making it. You do a fantatastic job of writing a clearly usable recipe while also reassuring your readers that it’s okay to do their own thing.

Those shrimp look fabulous! One question, though. Is tamarind concentrate anything like tamarind paste? I have the paste, but I’ve never seen the concentrate.

That looks good. I also have a jar of tamarind that I have been wondering what to do with…

This looks great and the avocado is the topper for me. I try to make really quick cooking dishes in the hot weather as well. I can’t bear to turn on the oven.

yes indeed, it would take a very special craving for me to turn on my oven in this ridiculous heat. this dish is a lovely alternative–it’s got an awesome marinade, and hey! avocado! i’m sold.

It has been tooo hot here! It’s finally cooling down a bit here! Last night was the first time I’ve ever used mirin. It makes such a big difference to sauce combos! I must try your recipe now!
