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.

  • 2 finely chopped garlic cloves

  • pinch of salt
  • 8 oz/225 g raw shelled and deveined jumbo shrimp
