The predominant flavors are typically Thai : refreshing lemon grass blends with the seafood ; the hot chilies are tempered by creamy coconut ; and the whole dish is perfumed with basil.
The striped shrimp of Thailand are particularly large and succulent, but any fresh shrimp work well in this recipe.
