Immortalizing Grandma's Garlic Shrimp

I'm trying topreserve my grandma's cooking by sharing them with the world. This garlic shrimp recipe is one that to her was "just stir fried shrimp" but really, it's so much more than that. Sweet, garlicky and totally delicious, not to mention a quick and easy weeknight meal!

I'm really interested in dishes with no name - dishes people create, and enjoy so much they make it regularly :)

You know these are all fantastic recipes if grandma shared them. They're priceless. Still the best Thai Food Recipe channel on all of the internet.

I'm a fan of the picture-in-picture edits, we can see a close up and still see you doing it it real time. It feels natural and informative at the same time.

I've just moved to Edmonton for a few weeks. Now, I become a big fan of Hot Thai Kitchen. Cooking Thai food does relieve homesickness. Thank you though.

I know you probably won't read I don't even cook and I am enthralled by your cooking videos!!!! So much Talent!!!

That's EXACTLY how my Grandma speaks about her cooking too! While I love her dishes to bits, it's always so difficult to get a recipe from her. I had to follow her around for years with a pen and paper and scribble all my estimations as she added ingredients and seasonings to her cooking. So THANK YOU for immortalizing your Grandma's recipes. These recipes are keepers! Can't wait to try your Grandma's Garlic Shrimp 🥰

I’m in Thailand now. Just bought Pailins book. Grandma recipes are the best.

I followed the recipe and it was delicious - turned out better than restaurant quality and I couldn't stop my amazement that I made it. It has a completely new flavor profile that I am so happy to add to my rotation. Thank you so much for sharing your Grandma's recipe and giving such simple, clear, precise instructions with a picture of the paste!

One of the things I really appreciate about your channel, besides great content and recipes, is that your audio isn’t blown out. Compared to many channels their intro music or voice audio are way too loud, so thank you for actually correcting this! 👌

Thank you for sharing for all of us who never had a Thai Grandmother (but wish we did) !!!

I love your cooking, this week I have been making pad thai. Every day a little different. Today was gorgeous. I lived in Prathet Thai for 5 years and I am planning to return to retire soon. I am homesick to Thailand.

It seems like all grandmas make the best foods am I right. Thanks for sharing this one with us

I cannot believe I have not watched you before!
Great video so easy to follow, I will be busy catching up on your vids, keep them coming and thank you.

This is absolutely delicious! It tastes like something from a really good restaurant. It’s amazing how such a quick and simple recipe can taste so good. I strongly recommend anyone who is considering making this, do it!!

[leerobbins]

Thank you! This is my next adventure in following your recipes and traditions involving your family. I'll make this at my sisters house.

I just made this today, and I have to say it was even better than you let on! :)

I didn't have the shrimp paste in oil, and I'm also out of fish sauce at the moment, so I substituted with chinese soy sauce and vietnamese soy sauce, because that's what I had on hand. If I can find the correct ingredients, I'll make it that way, but this was already amazing!

The Three Friends was a revelation for me. I'm definitely going to be using that regularly. Really easy, and super tasty.

Thanks so much for all of your videos. You're enriching my cooking with every episode.
