- 2 pieces Thai chili
- 4 pieces salted egg yolks

Heat oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Add butter and melt.
Add the minced garlic and cook just until limp and aromatic.
Add the salted egg yolks and stir. Break into pieces by pressing it against the pan with the back of a spoon. It will start to bubble and that is fine.
Stir in the chili peppers and pour in the cream. Mix until blended. Pour in water and mix until it is well blended and sauce becomes creamy.
Add the shrimp and season with salt. Cook for 5 minutes or until they turn completely pink and opened up a little.
Transfer to serving plate and enjoy with steaming hot rice.
