Add another tbs oil to pan and when hot, add chili paste and fry till fragrant and glistening. Return shrimp to pan and stir for about 3 minutes.

Season and add lime juice (to taste) and water. Stir well. Turn off heat and serve with white or coconut rice and sliced cucumbers if you like.

Spice + shrimp = AWESOME.

Sorry this took so long 8-0 For those wondering, I used fresh red chillies. The hot, slim, finger length variety very common in Asia. I think they're the type that get dried up and powdered into cayenned pepper. Hope this helps.
