Fried Shrimp with Basil Leaves (pad grapao goong)
ผัดกระเพรากุ้ง
Some people might find the dish this week a bit too spicy, but it is
not unbearable. It is Fried Shrimp with basil leaves or "pad grapao
goong" in Thai. You could also cook it with chicken if you like. In the
ingredients pictured below, you can see holy basil leaves and shrimp on
the left and bird's eye chillies and garlic cloves on the right.
 You need to prepare the chilli and garlic cloves first by pounding them with a mortar and pestle. Heat some oil in a wok and when it is hot, add the chilli mixture. When it becomes fragrant add the shrimps that have already been prepared. Stir well so that everything is well combined. Season with fish sauce and sugar. You could use oyster sauce if you like. Don't cook for too long. At the end, add the basil leaves and give a good stir. Come back next week to www.thai-blogs.com for another Thai food recipe.
