Emeril Lagasse"s Sambal Shrimp submitted by Mom Johnson
Description
This is delicious but quite spicy!

Directions
In a medium bowl, combine the chili sauce, sugar, lime, olive oil, garlic, ginger, mirin or Honteri, fish sauce and sesame oil and whisk well. Let stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.

Place shrimp and all but 1/2 cup of the marinade in a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Reserve the remaining marinade. Let the shrimp marinate for 1 hour.

Preheat a grill to medium high. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and place on the grill; cook till just cooked through - 2-2 1/2 minutes per side.

Place the shrimp in a large bowl and add the reserved 1/2 cup marinade along with the chopped cilantro and mint. Toss well to combine. Serve immediately. Serves 6-8.
