Chilli Jam Prawns กุ้งสามรส
This is one of the most popular restaurant dishes and is known in Thai as Sarm Ros, which means 3 flavours, spicy, sweet and sour. Deliciously Thai, fragrant and medicinal. I do preach 'home cooking' but I must admit this dish is no less delicious using Thai bottled chilli jam, which is available at most supermarkets, Mae Ploy brand is probably the best....
