2 3/16 lb black tiger shrimp, shell on
1 spicy thai dressing
Directions
Commercial Thai Sauce preparations are available such as "President's
Choice - Spicy Thai Dressing" (in Canada). In a stainless steel or
ceramic bowl, marinate the Shell-on Black Tiger Shrimp (rinsed if
defrosted) for 1-1/2 to 2 hours in sufficient Thai sauce to cover. Do
not marinate longer or shrimp will start to cook in the marinate and
take on a rubbery texture. Barbecue shrimp in shells over hot coals
3-4 minutes each side. The shells keep the meat moist. Serve
immediately with a suitable dipping sauce.
Servings: 4 servings

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into the distant past, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early records were just primitive pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef tells us how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know such as basil, rue and asafoetida. Later on, there are some interesting books published in the 14th Century ; a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are unconnected to the indian curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food eaten by the rich. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from the East, such as rosemary and coriander. These new foods and tastes led to an eruption in books on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe publications were greatly in demand as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and having more money to spend. |
