SHRIMP CURRY WITH COCONUT MILK

Provided by Andrew Zimmern

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup basmati rice
Kosher salt
Two 1-inch pieces ginger
3 ounces mushrooms
1 medium onion
1/2 serrano chile, plus more if desired
3 large cloves garlic
2 medium carrots
3 tablespoons peanut oil
3 tablespoons Madras curry powder
1/2 cup shellfish broth
One 14-ounce can coconut milk
2 pounds wild-caught shrimp, peeled and deveined (20 to 24 shrimp)
1 bunch cilantro
1 bunch Thai basil
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, plus 1 lime, cut in wedges

Steps:

  • Combine the rice with 2 cups water in a medium saucepan over medium heat (or follow the ratio and cooking instructions on your rice package). Season with salt and add one of the pieces of ginger. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 20 minutes, then remove from the heat and let rest.
  • Meanwhile, slice the mushrooms to yield 1 cup. Chop the onion. Mince the garlic to yield 1 tablespoon. Peel and grate the remaining piece of ginger to yield 1 tablespoon. Slice the carrots crosswise. Reserve.
  • Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 3 minutes. Push the mushrooms to the edges of the skillet and add the onions. Season the onions with salt to draw out some of their moisture and cook, stirring. When the onions start to turn golden, add the chile, garlic, ginger and carrots. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute, then add the curry powder. Stir to combine, then pour in the shellfish broth and simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Next, stir in the coconut milk and simmer until the curry starts to thicken and coats the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 6 minutes. (The slower the shrimp cook, the more tender they will be.)
  • Meanwhile, remove enough of the cilantro and basil leaves from their stems to yield 1/2 cup each; discard the stems.
  • Flip the shrimp and cook until just cooked through, about 6 minutes. Add the fish sauce and lime juice and season with salt. Stir in the cilantro and basil leaves.
  • Place the rice in individual bowls, spoon the shrimp curry on top and serve with the lime wedges.

COCONUT CURRY SHRIMP



Coconut Curry Shrimp image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

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 shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a more delicate flavor and texture than frozen shrimp.
  • Clean the shrimp properly: Devein and remove the shells from the shrimp before cooking to remove any grit or sand.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of spices and herbs before cooking helps to infuse them with flavor.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important to cook them just until they are opaque and pink. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for bell peppers, onions, and carrots, but you can use any vegetables that you like.
  • Use a good quality curry paste: The curry paste is the key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality paste.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the curry before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Conclusion:

This curried shrimp with coconut milk is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The shrimp are tender and flavorful, and the curry sauce is rich and creamy. Serve this curry with rice or naan bread and a side of your favorite vegetables.
