For a milder dish, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño. For a spicier kick, leave some seeds in. Full-fat coconut milk provides the best flavor and creaminess. Light coconut milk can be used, but the sauce may be thinner. Fresh basil is essential for the authentic Thai flavor. If unavailable, a small amount of dried basil can be used, but the flavor will not be as vibrant. Serve immediately to prevent the shrimp from becoming overcooked.
