Seed and chop the chilies. 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 an airtight container in the refrigerator.
