                       a small piece of trassi

Remove the seeds from the chilies and chop. Pound or process them  with the
dried shrimp. Heat the trassi. Crumble it and pound with  the garlic, then
combine all the ingredients except the lime juice  and process. Add the lime
juice, a little at a time, so that the sauce  remains fairly thick. Store in
the refrigerator.
