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.

I'm not a fan of coconut milk, so I used almond milk instead. It was still very creamy and flavorful.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some cooked shrimp from a shrimp boil and it worked perfectly in this recipe.

I'm allergic to shrimp, so I used tofu instead. It was still very flavorful and satisfying.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I used less cayenne pepper than the recipe called for. It was still flavorful without being too spicy.

I love the vibrant colors of this dish. The red bell peppers, green onions, and cilantro add a pop of color that makes it visually appealing as well as delicious.

This is one of my favorite shrimp curry recipes. The coconut milk and spices create a rich and flavorful sauce that pairs perfectly with the tender shrimp. I always serve this dish with basmati rice and a side of naan bread.
