Gung ga tiem (Stir-Fried Shrimp with Garlic)

This Thai food recipe is a good appetizer especially with the flavor combination of shrimp and garlic. I suggest that you use a large shrimp or a jumbo shrimp if possible because they are juicier and tender to eat which will make this Thai dish an unforgettable meal.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp peanut or vegetable oil
  • 2 finely chopped garlic cloves
  • 1/2 finely chopped onion
  • 2 roughly chopped scallions
  • pinch of salt
  • 8 oz/225 g raw shelled and deveined jumbo shrimp
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp jaggery
  • 1 tsp Thai fish sauce
  • handful of fresh chopped cilantro
