1.
Heat the coconut milk in a saucepan. Add garlic, ginger, chile, lemongrass and basil leaves into it and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered for 15-20 minutes. Pour the soup through a sieve and add the fish sauce (it's very salty!) Taste carefully.

In a pan, heat 4 tablespoons of sesame oil and fry the shrimp on all sides.
3.
Froth the soup with a hand blender, pour into small bowls, put in 2-3 shrimp and serve garnished with chives immediately.
