Big thanks to my friend Lani for showing me this recipe; this is her specialty! She always have this dish whenever we come to her house (must be her favorite). The creaminess of the coconut, savory shrimp paste, and spicy jalapeno are all bound to make you hungry even when you aren’t!

- 2 tbsp barrio fiesta original shrimp paste

Directions:
- In a pan, heat 2 tbsp oil and saute the garlic until soft.
