Asparagus and Franks

Looks good...

While there was still half a pack of frozen shrimp left in the freezer, I wasn't in the mood to make any more shrimp. Furthermore, I decided to place focus on the asparagus portion of the meal and it's that reason that this post is entitled "Asparagus and Franks" instead of "Franks and Asparagus."*

Shrimp and Asparagus

Finished!

Technically a part 3 to my shrimp cooking adventure, this time I built upon what I've done by adding a vegetable component (more typical of a full meal).

Today I thought about making shrimp the way my dad makes and so I called him up and asked him what he does.

All that was left after I finished eating.

In my head I guessed he might have grilled (nướng) the shrimp with just garlic, fish sauce (nước mắm), and pepper. In reply, he said the process is called "ram," which is between "kho có nước" (roughly, to stew having water) and "chiên" (to fry). Then he walked me through all the little steps.
