4 tablespoons hom daeng (shallots), sliced thinly 
2 tablespoons kratiem (garlic), sliced thinly 
3 tablespoon phak chi (coriander plant including root), chopped 
1 tablespoon nam makrut (lime juice) 
1 tablespoon fish sauce

========================================================== 

A simple appetiser: 

ingredients 

12 medium shrimp (about 10-12 to the pound) 

12 wonton skins 

3 tablespoons of nam prik kiga 
3 tablespoons of chopped onion 
3 tablespoons of diced tomato (discard the skin and seed pulp) 

method 

Remove the heads, legs and shells, including the tails, from the shrimp, 
and devein them. Thread them lengthwise onto thin skewers (to straigthen 
them out). 

Combine the nam prik, onion and tomato. 

Lay a  wonton skin on your worksurface. Place half a tablespoon of the 
mix on the skin, add a shrimp, a second half tablesppon of mix, and wrap 
in the skin, pinching it closed. 

Repeat for the other shrimp. 

The uncooked shrimp rolls are now delivered to the table with a small 
pot, such as a fondue pot, of cooking oil, and the diners dip shrimp 
into the oil and deep fry them to their tastes before eating (a small 
charcoal burner and a small wok is used in Thailand).
