This recipe can be adapted by substituting pork or chicken for the shrimp, but the meat should be very finely chopped or coarsely ground.

  * 2 tablespoons oil
  * 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  * 2 small fresh red or green chilies, finely chopped
  * 6-8 raw jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined I medium onion, cut in half and roughly sliced 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  * 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  * 1 teaspoon sugar
  * 20 holy basil leaves

  - In a wok or frying pan, heat the oil and fry the garlic and chilies, stirring well, until the garlic begins to brown. 
  - If using a protein other than shrimp, add and cook for 3-5 minutes before adding remaining ingredients.
  - If using shrimp, add them and stir, then quickly add the remaining ingredients, mixing well. 
  - Cook until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Turn onto a serving dish and serve.
