Wash shrimp thoroughly and cut the tendrils.
In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
Sauté garlic till light golden brown.
Stir-in shrimp paste. Cook for 1 minute.
Add shrimp. Stir. Cook till shrimp color turns pink.
Pour coconut milk and add the Thai chili. Turn heat to high and let it boil till sauce is reduced to half. Reduce heat to medium. Let it simmer till desired sauce consistency is achieved.
If you want some sauce, turn off heat once sauce is reduced to less than half.
If you prefer a drier consistency continue cooking till coconut milk evaporates and becomes oily to the point shrimp is coated with sauce.
Turn off heat and transfer to serving plate immediately to avoid burning.
Serve with lots of rice. Enjoy!

Notes

1. Shrimp in coconut milk with lots of garlic is so flavorful. The more garlic, the better.

2. Ginataang Hipon is tastier if sauce is reduced and it turns oily.

3. Once it turns oily, lower heat to medium-low. It can burn easily.
