Ms. Vo Thi Huong's Garlic Shrimp

I am reluctant to make Asian Food, because we have such good restaurants in Los Angeles. We came across this recipe for Ms. Vo Thi Huong's Garlic Shrimp The Lucky Peach Cookbook and decided to make it. I think I would have made it no matter what, because I just liked the name! We liked it very much.
