This recipe is from one of our friends, Katie, who is an excellent cook! We had it for the first time at her house a few months ago and I knew I had to have the recipe. I made this recipe a few weeks ago for Supper Club that we have with a few of our couple friends from Samford and then they wanted to recipe too so I figured it was good enough to share with you all and plus then I can have it here for reference for them as well. 
This recipe is jam packed with flavor, that is exotic and enthralled my senses from the beginning. I love the sticky rice and the flavors that meld together perfectly to compliment one another. I had too much going on for supper club to snap shots of the process so I found the photo online above for your general reference.
This recipe and several other ones I’ve found recently on Pinterest have made me realize we need a food processor. Man, I’d love to have one of those awesome Ninjas!
*Note: Put frozen shrimp in water for 30 minutes beforehand to defrost when using frozen shrimp.
