Shrimp and Bamboo Shoots in Coconut Milk

shrimps - get the cooked, frozen ones, tail on or no tail - so you don't have to cook and peel yourself - about 2 lbs (1 kg)

1 can of coconut milk

1 can of bamboo shoots

1 can of straw mushrooms

1 can of water chestnuts (get the sliced ones)

1 medium sized onion, sliced

fresh ginger root, about 2-3 slivers

salt and pepper to taste

basil leaves



You can also add other greens if you want.
Drain bamboo shoots, straw mushrooms and water chestnuts.

Mix all ingredients in the casserole except basil leaves. Simmer. Since everything is cooked, there's really no need to boil the hell out of it, probably just simmer for 5 minutes. Just be careful not to harden the shrimps.

Add basil leaves after removing from heat.

Serve with white rice.
