Was there any ginger?  It's the highlight ingredient in pad prik khing!  Since you added galangal, maybe it's pad prik kha....

Heh. No ginger in the recipe [Spicy Prik King Shrimp (Gkoong Pad Prik King)], from 'Dancing Shrimp' by Kasma Loha-Unchit. Recipe notes state that prik king means "chilli ginger", but also states that dried red chillies and galangal are the key ingredients.

Yes, confusing. I have written in a note to add ginger, which I have done in the past.

Edit: A quick check of David Thompson's 'Thai Food' shows a recipe for stir-fried wild pork with beans and green peppercorns (pat prik kink muu bpaa) that also uses galangal but no ginger (although it does have shredded grachai, but not in the paste). Hmm.
