Shrimp

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: -- Goong Gooladam are the black tiger shrimp -- Goong Gam Gram are the river prawn (very big) -- Goong Chi Hae are the white ones that you normally see in the US -- Goong Foi are the tiny ones that grow in still, fresh water
