Sashimi of Fluke with Sweet Shrimp Recipe

Sashimi of Fluke with Sweet Shrimp Recipe

  • 16 very thin slices sashimi-grade fluke, each about 2½-inches long and 1 inch wide
  • 32 sprigs cilantro
  • Thirty-two 1½-inch-long pieces fresh chives
  • 24 small (30 count) sweet shrimp or regular shrimp, shelled, deveined, cooked, and chilled
  • 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons fish sauce (nam pla)
  • 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
  • Sambal olek or red Thai or Vietnamese chili sauce to taste
  1. Lay the slices of fish on a work surface. Lay 2 cilantro sprigs and 2 chive pieces on each slice and roll so that the tops of the herbs extend from one end.
  2. Stand the rolls on end on a chilled plate and arrange the shrimp along with them.
  3. Combine the fish sauce and lime juice in a small ramekin or sauce dish. Stir in chili sauce to make the sauce as spicy as you like.
