Categories     Main Course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound medium shrimp (thawed, peeled, can remove tails if desired)
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium onion (chopped)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
3 heaped tablespoons Thai red curry paste
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 tablespoon fish sauce
1 (13.5 fluid ounces) can full-fat coconut milk
1/2 red bell pepper (chopped)
Lime juice (to taste)
Salt & pepper (to taste)
1 small handful fresh cilantro (chopped)
1 small handful fresh basil (chopped)
Scallions (chopped, to taste)

Steps:

  • If you want to serve this recipe with rice, I suggest getting the rice going prior to starting the curry.
  • Add the oil and onion to a soup pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and curry paste and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the chicken broth and fish sauce. Let it come to a boil and cook for a couple of minutes.
  • Reduce the heat and stir in the coconut milk.
  • Add the shrimp and red pepper. Let the soup simmer gently (don't let it reach a crazy boil) for 5 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through.
  • Add lime juice to taste (I used 1/2 a lime) and salt & pepper as needed.
  • Add the cilantro, basil, and scallions prior to serving. Serve over rice (I love jasmine rice).

SHRIMP IN YELLOW CURRY



Shrimp in Yellow Curry image

Many Thai dishes are not unlike what we call curries, but although they may contain curry powder, they are more often based on a combination of herbs and aromatic vegetables, rather than dried spices. A typical curry might feature a mixture of garlic, shallots, chiles, lime leaf, sugar and galangal (or ginger). This simplified version leaves out the lime leaf and sugar, but benefits from the addition of a couple spoonfuls of fish sauce at the end of cooking. It is brightly flavored, but blessedly easy to toss together on a weeknight.

1 cup fresh or canned coconut milk
1 1/2 to 2 pounds medium-to-large shrimp, peeled
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Add the shrimp, a few pinches of salt and a little black pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp release their liquid (the mixture will become quite moist again) and turn pink.
