Ingredients

4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 pound medium shrimp - peeled and deveined
2 tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 cup coconut milk
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves

Directions

Combine the garlic, ginger, jalapeno, salt and turmeric in the container of a food processor or blender. Process to a smooth paste. Set aside.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, and cook until translucent, stirring frequently. Mix in the spice paste, and cook for a few minutes to release the oils.
Add shrimp, and cook for a few minutes until pink, then add the tomatoes and coconut milk. Cover, and simmer for about 5 minutes, then remove the lid and simmer an additional 5 minutes to thicken the sauce. Stir in the fresh basil during the last minute of cooking.
