Cabbage with shrimp
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. As one can easily guess from the list of ingredients, the recipe for cabbage with shrimp comes to us from Asian cuisine. I suspect it's most likely Thai, though I wouldn't claim that with certainty. But then again, it probably doesn't matter much—what's important is that the dish is delicious. Of course, it's a matter of personal taste—my older relatives wouldn't touch it even at gunpoint! But it's perfectly suitable for a young crowd or a friendly get-together. Anyway, here's how to make it. The finished dish can now be served.
