Thai-Muslim yellow rice with shrimp

Thai-Muslim yellow rice with shrimp or "Khao Op Gung : ข้าวอบกุ้ง" in Thai. This is my second time to try to make Thai yellow rice. I found some very simply way to make the dish. Of course, it wasn't come out like the original on the streets of Thailand, I was happy to hear from my husband said after his first bite " It's fantastic".
