Just a heads up for people shopping, I have found tamarind in both Asian grocery stores and Mexican ones as well. I recently bought Goya brand frozen tamarind pulp at the Honeybee in SW Detroit.

That shrimp looks AMAZING!

The shrimp look awesome and I like the idea of using the tamarind sauce on tempeh. I'm really having fun with meringue/7 minute frosting with booze lately. After I made the mead cupcakes I've made other versions of the mead frosting. Today I made a black forest cake with a Grand Marnier yogurt cake layer frosted with Grand Marnier meringue.

BTW, I go to the Trader Joe's in Rochester because it's across the street from Whole Foods. There is also one in Grosse Pointe, here's a list of MI TJ's.

Beautiful shrimp really good photo, well done luv'...

The shrimp looks lip smacking good! I use tamarind in my chutneys as well! I loved your comment on Mrs L's post about the Food network! It attracted me to your site. I believe in order for the Food network to be able to compete in the international arena, they need to feature more cooks of a diverse culinary spectrum. This diversity shows here!

jen: i'll have to look into trying to get ahold of some tempeh. I see people use it all the time, but I've never had it.

duodishes: Tamarind is great. It is a bit tart and has a slight sweetness to it. It's a wonderful product to have in the kitchen.

doggybloggy: mmm beer and bread. Two products that I've been trying to avoid lately. I might have to give in this weekend tho.

This sounds like it'd be good in a citrus glaze too...maybe an orange marmalade on salmon? We've never used tamarind, but there's never a better time to try something new.

i have never used tamarind before. i'd probably use that with tofu or tempeh. tempeh is a curdled soybean product taht has a unique texture compared to tofu. it is used in many vegan recipes, primarily for chicken-like salads, and tempeh bacon. the bacon doesn't resemble real bacon at all, but has a nice chewy (can be crispy if cooked longer) texture and rich smoky flavor. i personally think it absorbs flavors much better than tofu.

This tamarind glazed shrimp looks awesome! My favorite product right now is lecithin which means more foams coming on my blogs, but I've also been using it for other recipes :)
