I’ve been waiting for this this will be yum thank you

[@countryfood6518]

I support your video

[@JsoliddGL]

What kind of cooking oil did you use?

[@Fireblake_AnimatorYT]

My mom and me loves your channel so much. I am only 9 years old. We are from Malaysia! Keep it up. Daddy Lau is the bestest Chef!

[@MadeWithLau]

Awwwww thank you so much for watching!! We appreciate you and your family!!

[@Fireblake_AnimatorYT]

This really makes our day of your reply. Kong Hei Fatt Choy to you and your family! 😊🧧🎋🍊

[@annunacky4463]

My single mom taught me to cook when I was about 10. Simple stuff but I helped her get dinner started since she worked sorta late some days.

[@MatthewMS.]

How in the heck could anyone possibly understand the gibberish coming out of his mouth

[@Tastefuls]

@@MatthewMS. By using their eyes and reading the subtitles. I guess you don't have any.

[@princeabalwah213]

What I respect and admire is he will teach you all his secrets which very few Chefs will take time to explain! He is a honest and is truly willing to reach his cooking techniques. Thank you Chef Lau my deepest respect

[@amaranthabowl2708]

this channel has been a HUGE lifesaver for me. I moved to a new city for uni and trying to cook lots of healthy food under a budget was really tough. Thankfully, the chinese grocery store nearby has really good deals on their vegetables. I've probably cooked about a quarter of the things on this channel but theyre always super tasty haha. Thank you for making such awesome and accessible content!

[@hardvice]

Hi Lau family! I’ve just finished working my way through all of your old videos and they’re terrific. Not only have I made some great Chinese food, but I’ve picked up tips from Daddy Lau that have made my western cooking better, too, and I can’t thank you guys enough. Do you guys have any plans to do chicken in garlic sauce? That’s my all-time favorite American Chinese restaurant dish but I haven’t had any luck with any of the recipes I’ve found online. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks and good work!

[@ezzyzhoo5139]

I appreciate you and your family for documenting this.

[@carmenkeung4181]

Hello from Hong Kong! 很喜歡你爸爸教的傳統粵菜！ 香港很小youtuber做😊 最喜歡你們的鹹湯圓食譜❤

[@MadeWithLau]

好多謝您嘅支持！老劉祝福您闔家健康快樂！

[@Tenshii_Artii]

I will always thing of how glad I am to have discovered your channel last year. Love the way your Dad cooks! You can tell his dishes were made with Lau-ve!

[@rabbitazteca23]

Chinese cuisine never fails to impress me. So much rich cuisines and dishes and this is no exception!

[@shermainetong]

Live long and prosper more Daddy Lau. May you and Mommy Lau be blessed with great health and happy CNY too. Yum Seng Sik Ho!

[@pinklove7705]

YAY!!! This is one of the recipes I requested!!! It gives me such great confidence to cook for my parents when I'm getting all the tips from Chef Lau!! BIG ❤ & HUGS!!!

[@edwinaperez9312]

A master, very informative and detailed instructions. Tried and liked this recipe. Simple

[@ieheng7241]

[@harrytempleton5705]

This was my fave dish at a local Chinese restaurant when I was a kid. Can’t wait to try making it

[@CourtneyinSF]

Evey recipe I've tried has been mouthwatering and are now firm family favorites. Thank-you so much

[@PistachioLemon]

Your family relationship is beautiful and I know how much work it took for you to get your father on camera to reveal his 50 yrs of experience. Thank you

[@tinayu4540]

I'm so excited to try this! We have tried the other shrimp recipe with garlic and my family can't get enough of it. Thank you from our family to yours!

[@ginger1r1]

I love it, keep them coming. Masterclass!

[@dalemills7926]

Love your dad watched him for awhile ..❤❤love this man

[@WokandKin]

LOVEEE how the crisp is complemented by the shell-on shrimp! So good over rice or just as is 😋

[@evelynacido8441]

Wow that looks delicious, thank you for sharing 😊

[@chrishoon1844]

as a chef I have always used other peoples recipe as a guide line taking in new ideas and developing them into my own style but for some odd reason I am terrified of changing Daddy Lau's recipe lol. having this much respect for someone I have never met is weird, it's just weird...but yeah huge respect to Daddy Lau

[@LeePhan79]

why? cause the shrimp heads?

[@boddhs]

This is on our table later! Happy new year

[@ginny8286]

Thank you for another amazing recipe. Gong Hay Fat Choy! Wishing you and your family best of health and happiness.

[@frankcastle5737]

Ugh your channel is one my favorite!

[@and6sdf]

That's my favorite dish. Love 💞 send from FL. Cheer up bro. Nice work.

[@jykugoku]

As a Romanian nothing to do with China so far away... he is literally what I think about a Chinese person his face can be on the flag for real ! Hard-worker resilient passionate dedicated family centered humble but royal at the same time serious intense and a bit funny as well ! all those words came to my mind also many years ago as a child watching my first Jackie Chan movie ...

[@unfh2]

Its one of my favorite dish to order..now I know how to make it..thank you🥰

[@StacyInLove1]

I tried this for dinner tonight and loved it! Thank you.

[@margi9103]

That looks so yummy. I saw the mushroom and bok choy dish on your dining table. Can Daddy Lau show us this one some time in the future please? Mum used to make that for us and we loved it.

[@pinut187]

This was already my favorite shrimp dish! Now I know how to make it, thanks.

[@knutsolbakken6923]

Omg. Your dad is the best. I’ll be making this Friday

[@CGMPassion]

My favorite asian cooking channel. Thank you both 😇😭

[@AnitaSpankyBB]

I made this today and it turned out bomb good 👍👍👍👍👍

[@petergarcia8225]

Wow.. thank you Mr. Lau for the Tail cutting technique with Shrimps tails.

[@A2NL0V4U]

謝謝這次的視頻！ 我娘家也是台山人。每次看到劉師傅就讓我想起我外公。雖然他人不在了，可是我腦海裏還是充滿了我小時候他做飯給我的回憶😊。很感謝你們的影片讓我們有機會學習做豐富的廣東菜❤～ 椒鹽蝦也是我家最愛的其中一道菜，想問下劉師傅為何這次選擇不翻炸蝦呢，效果會一樣嗎？😊

[@MadeWithLau]

唔好客氣，椒鹽蝦是不需要翻炸的。非常感謝您的支持！老劉祝福您闔家平安健康！幸福快樂！

[@huesoo9827]

Thank you for this recipe. I made it and it was a hit with the kids. Glad I didn’t need to use a lot of oil!

[@chaoxiong2256]

Can’t wait to make this dish for dinner tomorrow ❤

[@smr3232]

Thanks for saving cultural cooking ❤️❤️❤️

[@SnowyMinion]

Love the video. One of my favorite dishes! My mom and I always fight over the shrimp heads

[@SwirlingDervish536]

mmm,your food make me so hungry!😊 Daddy Lau is !🔥

[@ks-iq8rv]

The vibe your dad teaching makes me remind of my dad love this vibe 唔该晒

[@MadeWithLau]

好多謝您嘅支持！唔該曬！老劉㊗️您及家人健康快樂！

[@vukkulvar9769]

When it come to salt & pepper fried shrimps, I eat the shell too. It's so crispy!

[@SunnyBunny84]

he cooks the best meals!!! you can't help but leave a like and a comment! he is born to cook!

[@carabiner7999]

Thank you so much for sharing the gift of your father and his talents! It's wonderful, particularly as many of us are not able to afford premium content/cable. Much respect and gratitude.

[@smeLLyphant37]

Delicious! The skin is the best part!!! ❤❤❤

[@vettipayal142]

OMG. I was waiting for this. Thanks a lot Daddy. Also please show how to make Oyster omelette .

[@landoan4719]

Thanks 😍❤️👍

[@Mariafe-zn7do]

Watching from RIYADH KSA ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@cohoba77]

Thank you ❤

[@jonathanlallo4920]

Made my day

[@ctgeblue17]

I love these, but the squid more. So good! I can't wait to try & make some with tofu too. Thanks!

[@justcookwithsha]

Hi my friends... Look delicious yummy 🤤🤤Thank for sharing, very nice 🥰🥰😘

[@gonefishing4204]

This is awesome

[@wes2393]

That wooden chopstick oil trick is life altering! Prime example of wisdom.

[@cjn585]

I would love to learn how to cook with a wok and I am going to try this because I use all the ingredients in this dish. Wish me good luck

[@dashamunch]

I really like shrimp 🍤🤩

[@stevensharpe3182]

My favorite food channel now, made hot sour soup was little hard to find ingredients but small Asian shop I found had it all!!

[@aileenmobars4092]

I love everything you cook. Do you have a recipe book , where can I buy this tnx

[@supersaverguyful]

Thanks so much been waiting for more seafood dishes. Would love someday to see his take on 水煮鱼 Spicy Fish.....thanks!!

[@stephenbachmann1171]

That’s Sichuan cooking. Very different. It’s almost as hard as asking an Italian chef to cook French food.

[@suzaynnschick158]

This is probably my favorite standard Chinese restaurant dish.

[@XinyiLHBF]

Congratulations on making a million subscribers!

[@alexlifeson8946]

He didn't make enough. I would need a whole plate of those delicious shrimp😋🍤

[@walaauqueen8462]

Salt & Pepper Shrimp is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! and I don't have any Chinese restaurants that make S&P Shrimp where I live... thank you so much for sharing❤ guess what I'll be having for dinner tonight 😊

[@kaipoijamile1157]

Po sing down the road makes this. One of the only times I eat the shell. So good

[@squishykrishy_]

Do you do more than just cooking videos? Your creator style is on point!

[@markshen3280]

I love your dad’s Cantonese dishes. Wish we can visit your house 🏠

[@elizamccroskey1708]

I love Salt & Pepper squid, shrimp, pork - pretty much anything. I eat the whole shrimp, heads, tails and shells. They fry up crispy. I think maybe somewhat smaller shrimp are easier to eat whole. I always use Szechuan pepper for Salt & Pepper dishes.

[@RandyLiGFW]

That is what I need for shrimp

[@Whatisthis94]

Awesome and thank you. Love this especially since many restaurants put way too much breading and the shrimp to flour ratio stinks.

[@emily3720]

Ohhh love that

[@OGMichaelC]

I'm not a shell on shrimp fan, so my Fav edition of this is Salt & pepper squid. I could eat 3 dishes of that in one sitting lol

[@jeniferpollonais6546]

Love all your dishes! You are tops! 😊

[@christinetsin881]

Daddy Lau showing how to NOT have to cut the whole onion and keeping the rest of it whole when you need just a little was a eye opener for me🤯😂🤔👍👍😂😂ha ha ha

[@AsiaMs]

Hong Doy, Heck Fahn La. Yeah, man. Hoisan Chefs are the best.

[@hmrhuang]

same seasoning and technique for making salt and pepper pork chops? Thanks for everything you guys do! =)

[@ericwu3860]

Can I use the airfryer instead of deep fry in the oil? Thanks

[@SnowWhite-kx6ly]

Daddy’s Lau , could you please tell me why you have to heat the Wok on high before adding oil instead of adding the oil first before heating?

[@kaldonegros6796]

The best

[@floodercw]

胡椒蝦是真的好好吃🥹🥹

[@MadeWithLau]

非常感謝您的支持！老劉㊗️您和家人平安健康快樂！

[@upallnight888]

Thanks for the toothprick tips. When I cooked shells on shrimps I usually don't remove the vein.

[@jy.creator]

Question: I've eaten something called Crystal Shrimp where the shrimp is fried, shell-on, and then eaten as-is with a light dusting of salt. Is it similar in prep to s&p shrimp?

[@axolotl6024]

Looks delicious! Will definitely try soon.

[@papaholke6909]

i love chimese food ... especially when it hot BUT ... whatever dady lau cook ... i will never fall in love with chinese communis party and xie jin pig

[@rejophilipjose7763]

would the oil smell for reuse since its shrimp ?

[@JsoliddGL]

What kind of cooking oil did you use ?

[@gisph1353]

Can I cook the praws in airfryer?

[@im.jess.hungry]

Im not sure why i never thought of cutting an onion by the layers instead of cutting them in half or quarters! That's so genius 👏

[@yakitatefreak]

Alternatively, a shallot works in this context, since the flavors are similar enough. Depending on your preferences, this is a suitable alternative.

[@dookiepants]

the way your dad says Hong Doy heck fan is amazing, I always wait for that line because we share the same name "Hong". sometimes I would be like, it's dinner time?! what is your full Chinese name?
