Preparation

1. Preheat a grill, a nonstick griddle or a large nonstick skillet.
2. Cut the stem off the eggplant, then slice the eggplant one-half-inch thick. Grill or sear the eggplant slices until they are nicely browned. Do not allow them to burn. Set them aside to cool slightly.
3. While the eggplant is cooling, place the shrimps on skewers and sear them on the grill or, without the skewers, sear them until they begin to char around the edges on the griddle or in the skillet. Set them aside.
4. Dice eggplant, place in bowl. Mix with tomato. Dice shrimp and add.
5. Mix the fish sauce, anchovy paste, lime juice and sugar together. Pour over the eggplant mixture. Fold in the chili, garlic and shallot. Mix well. Add the coriander leaves and mix again. Serve garnished with sprigs of fresh coriander.
