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.
SHRIMP AND COCONUT CURRY WITH GREEN BEANS
This recipe from December 2010 Bon Appetit was just as good as it looked. DH and I really enjoyed it. Thanks to many of the ingredients going into the food processor, prep was not too laborious. Although the recipe did not specify, we served over jasmine rice, which worked really well.

Steps:
- Cook green beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain. Cut 2 inches from bottom of each lemongrass stalk; discard tops. Thinly slice bottom pieces; place in processor. Add next five ingredients, chopped basil, and 1/4 cup water. Blend until paste forms.
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add curry paste; cook, stirring often, until dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in coconut milk; bring to simmer. Add shrimp; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until shrimp are just opaque in center, about 5 minutes. Add green beans; stir to heat through. Season curry with salt and pepper. Transfer curry to serving bowl; garnish with basil. Serve with lime wedges (we served over jasmine rice).
COCONUT CURRY SHRIMP
Steps:
- Lightly season the shrimp with salt and pepper to taste; refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat the oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Using a small strainer, sift the curry powder into the hot oil and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the onion and sauté until the onions are browned, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the coconut milk, bell pepper, garlic and jerk seasoning. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Add the shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bell peppers are tender and the shrimp is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve over rice.
CHILE-CRISP SHRIMP AND GREEN BEANS
This stir-fry is inspired by the taste and textures of chile crisp, that fiery condiment made by infusing oil with dried chiles, garlic and shallots. For this 20-minute recipe, make a quick version of the oil while the shrimp marinates in a combination of soy sauce, sugar, red-pepper flakes and cumin. Use the infused oil to cook the green beans (or asparagus), shrimp and peanuts, then serve topped with the fried shallots and garlic. It's a deeply savory, spicy and satisfying dinner.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the soy sauce, sugar, red-pepper flakes and cumin. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Set aside while you fry the shallots and garlic.
- Place a fine-mesh sieve over a heat-proof bowl next to the stove. In a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet, heat the canola oil, shallot, garlic and cinnamon stick over medium-high. When the mixture starts to bubble, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally to break up the shallots, until golden brown, 5 to 9 minutes. (Lower the heat if the shallots are browning too quickly.) Drain through the sieve, catching the oil in the bowl below. Discard the cinnamon, season the fried shallots and garlic with salt, and set aside.
- Return the oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high. Add the green beans, season with salt and cook until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Push the green beans to one side, then add the shrimp and the marinade, along with the peanuts (if using), and cook until the shrimp is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Stir the green beans and shrimp to combine, then sprinkle with the fried shallots and garlic. Serve immediately, over rice or noodles, or in lettuce cups, if desired.

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 scrambling around the kitchen while you're cooking.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. If possible, try to use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking shrimp or vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the shrimp until they're opaque: Shrimp are cooked through when they're opaque and pink. Avoid overcooking them, as this will make them tough and chewy.
- Use a good quality curry paste: The curry paste is what gives this dish its flavor, so it's important to use a good quality paste. Look for a paste that is made with fresh ingredients and doesn't contain any additives.
- Simmer the curry for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve with rice or naan: This dish is traditionally served with rice or naan, but you can also serve it with other sides, such as quinoa or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
This shrimp and coconut curry with green beans is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of shrimp, coconut milk, and curry paste creates a flavorful and creamy sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with rice or naan for a complete meal.
