Personal Notes:
if don't have garlic chili paste can use plain chili paste (that red paste with chili seeds in it you see at Chinese restaurants
Base amount shrimp on how many people you are feeding so may need to double sauce
Hint: we store ginger root in fridge in a sake or vodka so won't dry out
