thai PEPPER PUMPKIN and THAI BASIL SOUP (

I thought that it was going to be bad when I was preparing it. smelled pretty bad until it was cooked. turned out to be very different but great

2 soup spoons dried mini shrimp
half a teaspoon of dried shrimp paste
2 crushed garlic cloves
2 thai shallots (long garlicky shoots)
1 soup spoon fish sauce
1 soup spoon palm sugar or cane sugar syrup
juice half a lemon
300ml coco milk
12 thai basil leaves
cilantro (asian kind)
white pepper
300 g of pumpkin

cut pumpkin into 4cm cubes. bring to boil and reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes or until pumpkin is firm but not mushy.

NO NEED TO ADD SALT BECAUSE SHRIMP AND SAUCES SALTY ENOUGH
