1

Devein, marinate shrimp

Using a knife or scissors, devein shrimp with the shell on by making a shallow slit down the middle of the back to expose the black intestine. Remove the intestine with the blade of you knife. (Optional: Peel shell off at this point, if you don’t want to eat at the end.) In a bowl, toss shrimp together with coconut milk, turmeric and 1 tablespoon of the fish sauce, reserving the rest for sauce to marinate. Set aside.
