GREEN CURRY WITH SHRIMP
My wife Sarah introduced me to Thai curry before we were married, and now I like to make it for her! Starting with store-bought Thai green curry paste-which contains a blend of lemongrass, ginger or galangal, herbs and aromatics-makes it quick enough for even a weeknight meal.

Steps:
- Add 2 tablespoons oil to a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and par-cook by searing each side for about 1 minute, making sure to not crowd the skillet. Remove the shrimp to a plate and set aside. Return the skillet to the heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil along with the onions, jalapenos and a pinch of salt and cook until they start to brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Add the green curry paste and stir to combine; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock to deglaze the skillet, stirring. Add the coconut milk, fish sauce and sugar and mix well. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook until it thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Add the shrimp to the curry and cook until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Ladle the curry into a serving bowl and garnish with the basil, mint and peanuts. Serve with steamed rice-a perfect combination.

Steps:
- In a food processor, pulse the ginger until finely chopped. Add the 3/4 cup cashews; process until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh shrimp that are peeled and deveined. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them thoroughly before cooking.
- Be sure to pat the shrimp dry before cooking to help them brown evenly.
- If you don't have green curry paste, you can substitute red curry paste or yellow curry paste.
- If you don't have fish sauce, you can substitute soy sauce or tamari.
- If you don't have kaffir lime leaves, you can substitute lemon leaves or lime zest.
- To make the sauce ahead of time, simply cook the shrimp according to the recipe and then transfer them to a bowl. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the shrimp for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, reheat the shrimp in the sauce over medium heat until warmed through.
