HOT STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used 2 whole UNseeded jalapenos, and 4 Thai peppers. In place of the shallots a 1/2 vidalia onion, skipped the oil to keep it fat free, and the shrimp paste was omitted for the salt intake is not needed in my families health life styles. And I must say was not missed at all. It`s amazing how the aroma and flavor is like our favorite Thai restaurant! Thanks for the goodness!
