1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon chili paste
1 pound small shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves

Cooking Recipe:

Prepare rice noodles according to package instructions.

Combine the lime juice, sugar, fish (handling fish may be a smelly task, but you have to handle it) sauce and chili paste to make the Thai shrimp sauce. Pour Thai shrimp (also called prawns in some parts) sauce into a 10-inch non-stick pan. Turn heat to medium high and bring to a boil. Add the shrimp (prawns is another name for shrimp) , and reduce heat to medium low. Cook until shrimp is tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add cilantro to sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings, pour over noodles.
