Shrimp Ladies Fingers Mlaysian Style

It sounds like you are referring to a dish that is commonly known as "sotong masak hitam" or "squid in black ink" in Malaysian cuisine. However, it's possible that the dish you tried in a US restaurant was made with shrimp instead of squid, and with a different style of preparation.

In any case, the dish you are describing typically features seafood (either squid or shrimp) that is cooked in a dark, flavorful sauce made from a combination of ingredients such as tamarind, chili, garlic, shallots, and belacan (shrimp paste). The sauce is often thickened with ingredients such as ground peanuts or coconut milk, and it gains its dark color and rich flavor from the addition of squid ink (or sometimes cuttlefish ink) during the cooking process.

In Malaysian cuisine, sotong masak hitam is often served with rice or noodles, and it is known for its bold, savory flavors and slightly spicy kick. If you enjoyed this dish and want to try making it at home, there are many recipes available online that can help you recreate its unique flavor profile.
