Preparation

1. Mix sugar and fish sauce together, then stir in 1/2 cup water. Add the pepper, ginger and garlic. Place in a nonstick skillet and cook over high heat about five minutes, until the mixture starts to become syrupy.
2. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until firm and pink. Cook a few minutes longer, turning the shrimp constantly, so it becomes coated with the sauce.
3. Stir in the lime juice and basil and serve with steamed rice.
