I have broiled this dish in an oven, with excellent results

Sugar cane makes this recipe visually exciting and exotic
- 4
Its sweetness subtly melts into the shrimp paste

Sugar cane comes fresh and canned in better Asian markets

the former is scarce and very expensive

Check with the grocery clerk to make certain that you are buying the 6- to 7-inch long stalks, not the cubes
