Red Curry Paste

This is a curry paste recipe my mother taught me when I was a child. It has a wonderful aroma, and some ingredients are personal favorites, like holy basil flowers. Sometimes people leave them out, but I've always included them since I was young. Whenever I get the chance to make it myself, I use this recipe.
(The quantities and proportions can be seen in the photo. This recipe makes about 10 1/2 ounces (300 grams) of curry paste.)

Refer to the photo for ingredient amounts.

Pound the black peppercorns until fine.

Add the shrimp paste last.
