2 Tbsp. olive oil or avocado oil
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
4 tsp. fish sauce
1 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup water
1 small bell pepper (any color), sliced into thin strips
12 oz. peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp, tails on or off, thawed if frozen
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
Zest of 1 lime
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet, at least 12-inches, over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, while stirring continuously.
  • Add the coconut milk, curry paste, honey, fish sauce, peanut butter, and water. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a simmer and whisk the sauce until smooth and lump-free.
  • Add bell peppers and cook for about 5-7 minutes, covered, or until the peppers are almost tender. Slightly reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
  • In the meantime, lightly pat dry the shrimp with a few sheets of paper towel to remove excess moisture. Season the shrimp all over with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Uncover the sauce and stir in the shrimp and cook for about 3 minutes or until shrimp just turn opaque, stirring often. The sauce will also slightly reduce and thicken.
  • Stir in lime juice, lime zest, and cilantro. Serve over cooked rice.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon red curry paste
1 13.5-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
1 8-ounce bottle clam juice
1 1/4 pounds uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime, cut into 8 wedges

Steps:

  • Stir red curry paste in large skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add coconut milk and clam juice and bring to boil, whisking until paste dissolves. Boil until sauce is thick enough to coat spoon, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes. Add shrimp to sauce. Cook until shrimp turn pink and are just opaque in center, turning occasionally, about 4 minutes. Stir in cilantro. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide shrimp and sauce among 4 shallow bowls. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the shrimp, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can sear properly. If the pan is too crowded, the shrimp will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are opaque: The shrimp are done cooking when they are opaque and pink. Do not overcook the shrimp, as this will make them tough.
  • Add the curry paste at the end: Adding the curry paste at the end of the cooking process will help to preserve its flavor and prevent it from burning.
  • Serve over rice: This dish is traditionally served over rice. However, you can also serve it over noodles or quinoa.

This key lime shrimp red curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The shrimp are seared until they are golden brown and then simmered in a flavorful red curry sauce. The sauce is made with red curry paste, coconut milk, lime juice, and ginger.
