Thailand grows much of the world's shrimp, so it is a frequent component of recipes. As you drive through the countryside at night, you see huge flooded fields with fluorescent lights that light up the field-pond. There are many types of Thai shrimp: -- Gung Gooladam are the black tiger shrimp -- Gung Gam Grlam are the river prawn (very big) -- Gung Chi Ha are the white ones that you normally see in the US -- Gung Fawi are the tiny ones that grow in still, fresh water
