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.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter, preferably natural
3 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk
1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice, more as needed
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon sriracha or other hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon plus a pinch kosher salt, more as needed
1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil
1/8 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 pound cleaned large shrimp
2 cups pineapple chunks
Whole cilantro leaves and torn basil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, 3 tablespoons hot water, lime juice, sugar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sriracha and a pinch of salt. Purée until smooth. Add more lime juice and or salt to taste. Scrape into a bowl.
  • Heat oven to 500 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together peanut oil, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and red-pepper flakes. Thread shrimp on skewers; brush all over with half the peanut oil mixture. Thread pineapple on separate skewers; brush with remaining oil mixture. Arrange shrimp and pineapple skewers on a large rimmed baking sheet.
  • Roast skewers, turning them halfway through, until shrimp is opaque, about 5 minutes, and pineapple is lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. (Use an oven mitt to remove shrimp skewers as they finish cooking but leave the pineapple in for longer). Sprinkle skewers with herbs and serve hot, with peanut sauce for dipping.

Tips:

  • Prep the ingredients beforehand: Peel and devein the shrimp, chop the vegetables, and measure out the spices and seasonings before you start cooking. This will make the cooking process much smoother and faster.
  • Use a quality peanut butter: The peanut butter is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and has no added sugar or salt.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque: Don't overcook the shrimp, or they will become tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque and pink in the center.
  • Serve the dish immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made, while the shrimp are still hot and the sauce is still warm.

Conclusion:

Curried shrimp in peanut sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
