The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

This was a last minute menu choice for us so we had to improvise just a little. In place of the tamarind we used some lime juice. We made the brown sugar mixture then let it cool. We then marinaded the shrimp in the mixture for about 20 minutes. To cook, we simply added the shrimp and marinade to a large skillet. When shrimp was just about pink we added cooked brown rice and stirred until the shrimp was cooked and most of the liquid was absorbed by the rice. It was outstanding!
