1 small red onion, thinly sliced, about 1 cup
1 Tbsp. finely grated ginger, use a microplane
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 (14 oz.) can coconut milk
2 Tbsp. red curry paste
2 tsp. honey

Categories     appetizer

Yield About 20 shrimp

Number Of Ingredients 13

Peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
1/4 cup cornstarch
3 large egg whites
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups flaked coconut
1 1/2 pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled with tails on
Red Curry Sauce, recipe follows
1 green onion, white and green part, chopped
1 handful fresh mint, hand-torn
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 lime, juiced

Steps:

  • Heat 3 inches of oil in a large deep skillet or heavy pot to 325 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch, egg whites, salt, and pepper until foamy. Spread the coconut out in a pie dish. Dredge the shrimp with the cornstarch/egg white mixture and shake off any excess. Press the shrimp into the coconut flakes; turn shrimp over and press into coconut again to coat both sides.
  • Deep-fry the shrimp in batches until the coconut is golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp to paper towels to drain. Arrange the shrimp on a platter, serve immediately with red curry sauce and garnish with green onion and mint.
  • Place a small pot over medium heat and coat with the oil. Stir the red curry paste into the pan and fry that up until aromatic. Slowly pour in the coconut milk and continue to stir to incorporate. Add the lime juice (and 1 of the squeezed out halves for added flavor) and cook for 5 to 10 minutes to thicken. Pour the sauce into a nice serving bowl and serve with the coconut shrimp.

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons salted butter
1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined raw shrimp (I used U10, but any size is fine)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon curry powder
One 13 1/2-ounce can coconut milk (I used A Taste of Thai brand)
2 tablespoons honey, or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
Juice of 1 lime, or more to taste
12 fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish
Hot sauce, as needed, optional
Cooked basmati rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a large skillet (I used nonstick) over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, turning them over halfway through, until fully cooked, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the garlic and onions to the skillet and stir to cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the curry powder over the onions and continue cooking, stirring, for another couple of minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine. Add the honey, salt and lime juice, and allow the sauce to heat up until bubbling gently. Add the shrimp to the sauce, tossing to coat, and allow it to simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste the sauce and add more salt, lime juice or honey, depending on your taste. Stir in the basil. (Add hot sauce if you want a little kick.)
  • Serve the shrimp and sauce over a bed of cooked basmati rice, garnishing with more basil. Delicious!

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut shrimp. Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important to cook them just until they are opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp are tough and chewy.
  • Make sure the coconut coating is evenly distributed on the shrimp. This will help ensure that the shrimp are evenly browned and crispy.
  • Use a light hand with the red curry paste. Red curry paste is spicy, so it's important to use it sparingly. You can always add more paste to taste, but it's difficult to take it out once it's been added.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with the red curry dipping sauce. The shrimp are best when they are hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Coconut shrimp with red curry dipping sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The shrimp are crispy and flavorful, and the red curry dipping sauce is the perfect complement. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
