Recipe for Thai food- Evil Jungle Shrimp?

There is a Thai restaurant near my house in Streamwood, IL called Siri Thai. It makes this dish called Evil Jungle Shrimp that is the best thing I have ever eaten in my life. My father and I love to make replica recipes of our favorite dishes, but for some reason we have never been able to make a good copy of this dish. It consists of Shrimp (or Chicken, which we usually ask for as a substitute since my mom does not care for seafood), and a reddish/brownish sauce that tastes of peanut and coconut. The only veggies it has are bamboo shoots and baby corns, sometimes jalapenos when ordered spicy. I think it is red curry based as well. Does anyone have a recipe similar to the dish I have described? I am away at college and would love to make it for my boyfriend! Thanks :)Recipe for Thai food- Evil Jungle Shrimp?

* 10 Basil leaves (up to 15)

Preparation



Source: Keos Thai Cuisine by Keo Sananikone, Ten Speed Press, 1986 Thinly cut chicken into 2-inch strips. (If doing veggie version, cut vegetables into thin strips.) Grind together red chili peppers, lemon grass, and kaffir lime leaves in a food processor or pound in a mortar. Heat oil to medium-high and saute pepper mixture for 3 minutes. Stir in coconut milk and cook for 2 minutes. Add chicken (or vegetables) and cook for 5 minutes or until cooked (same time for veggies). Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in fish sauce (if using), salt, and basil. Serve on a bed of chopped cabbage. Note: For mixed vegetables, choose from among bell peppers, string beans, water chestnuts, tomatoes (small cherry tomatoes are best), bamboo shoots, miniature corn, asparagus, cucumbers, zucchini, Japanese eggplant, and mushrooms. I particularly like string beans or asparagus, a few cherry tomatoes, shredded (rather than sliced) bamboo shoots, miniature corn, and some straw mushrooms or slender (Japanese) eggplant.
