I loved seeing how you blend tradition with flavor, and how that garlic shrimp recipe not only nourishes the body, but also the soul, and I can see that in the way you describe your childhood.
Even though prices are high now, you can tell how much love you put into preparing everything. I admit I never thought you could make a purée with shrimp. I've only ever eaten them in Chinese rice, but not in purée form. It looks tempting, though. Save me some next time!
