Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Dinner

Time 25m

Yield 4 - 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
⅓ cup thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts, from 4-5 scallions
2 cloves garlic, minced
2½ tablespoons Thai green curry paste
1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon dark or light brown sugar
2 pounds large, extra large (26-30 per lb) or jumbo (21-25 per lb) shrimp, peeled and deveined (see note), thawed if frozen
Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons), plus more lime wedges for serving
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, Thai basil, or Italian basil (or a combination)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 3 minutes. If the onions start to brown, reduce the heat to medium. Add the scallions, garlic, and green curry paste, and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes more. Add the coconut milk, water, fish sauce, and sugar and bring to a gentle boil. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and sprinkle with the cilantro (or basil). Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary, and serve with jasmine rice.
  • Note: For the shrimp, I recommend buying frozen shrimp labeled "shell split and deveined." Most shrimp are cleaned and flash frozen shortly after being caught, so the "fresh" shrimp you see in the seafood case at the supermarket are typically thawed frozen shrimp. Who knows how long they've been sitting there, so you're better off buying frozen shrimp and defrosting it yourself. Come dinnertime, all you have to do is run the shrimp under water to defrost, and then peel.

CREAMY SHRIMP CURRY



Creamy shrimp curry image

This creamy shrimp curry is one of my go-to recipes when I want to impress. It's easy to make, always delicious and perfect served with homemade naan bread.

Provided by Alida Ryder

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 24

750 g (1½lbs) shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp Garam Masala
1 tbsp butter
1 onion (finely diced)
4 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tsp minced ginger
10 curry leaves ((optional))
1½ tbsp Garam Masala
½ tsp ground cardamom
½ tsp chilli powder
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp sugar ((optional))
1 cup stock
1½ cups heavy / whipping cream
1-2 tsp lemon juice (to taste)
salt and pepper (to taste )
½ cup warm water
10 g (2tsp) instant yeast
1 tsp sugar
2½-3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
½ cup plain yogurt
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Steps:

  • For the Naan bread: Whisk the yeast and sugar into the water and allow to stand for a few minutes until foamy.
  • Add 2½ cups flour and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment.
  • Pour in the yeast mixture, yogurt and oil. Knead on low speed until the dough comes together. If the dough is very sticky add more flour.
  • Allow to knead until the dough is soft and smooth. Cover with a damp tea towel and allow to rise for 1 hour.
  • Once risen, break off small handfuls of the dough and roll out on a floured surface.
  • Heat a large skillet then add the dough. Cover with a lid and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes until the dough is blistered. Carefully flip over and allow to cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
  • Remove from the pan and brush with melted butter.
  • For the curry: Season the shrimp with salt and garam masala and toss well. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large, deep frying pan and brown the shrimp on both sides. Remove and set aside.
  • To make the sauce, melt the butter in the pan then add the onions. Cook until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, ginger and spices and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Add the stock, sugar, cream and lemon juice. Bring the sauce to a simmer then allow to cook for 7-10 minutes or until the sauce has reduced slightly. I prefer the sauce to be a little looser in consistency but you can thicken the sauce with cornstarch/corn flour if you prefer a thicker sauce.
  • Once the sauce is the consistency you like, add the shrimp back in to the sauce and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
  • Serve the curry with rice and naan bread.

SHRIMP CURRY BUTTER SAUCE



Shrimp Curry Butter Sauce image

This sauce is one I have used for so long that I just adapt it to whatever recipe I need a sauce.It is not a gravy as their is no milk, the main ingredient is butter. The condiments is whatever you...

Categories     Seafood

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb shrimp-already deveined
1 c butter-melted,add 1/2 flour
1 tsp salt and pepper
2 qt shrimp broth
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 lb rice- any kind
CONDIMENTS:
2 c each of coconut, boiled eggs, your choice of nuts, pineapple, peas, kernel corn, various onions, cheeses, mushrooms, black or green olives, and whatever else you want

Steps:

  • 1. Make the as directions say on package, or as I prefer, by browning the rice in a skillet with a little olive oil. When rice is slightly brown, turn down the heat to simmer and add enough water to rice to cover. Place laid on skillet and don't stir. Cook about 30 minutes.
  • 2. Rice should be fluffy not sticky, when all the water has been cooked out. Add your salt and pepper at this point and set aside.
  • 3. Wash the shrimp and put in pan with about two quarts of water. Cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes, then with a ladle with holes in it to drain, spoon out the shrimp. Save the shrimp broth for the sauce. Set aside.
  • 4. Add butter to saucepan and melt it on medium heat. Little bit at a time, add flour to the butter and stir with a whisk. It will get thick and that is ok.
  • 5. Pour the broth a cup at a time into the buttery mixture. Continue to whisk to smooth out the lumpy butter mixture. Turn heat down to simmer and finish adding the broth, whisking all the time. When the sauce is smooth, add the shrimp and stir it throughly. Add the curry, salt and pepper, stir. Cook about ten minutes more.
  • 6. Place shrimp curry in a bowl to set on table. If make earlier in day, place in small crockpot an set on low. In a lazy susan or small bowls add each of the condiments. Put rice in bowl too and set on table. Enjoy!!!

  • Don't be afraid to adjust the ingredients to your taste. If you like it spicier, add more chili peppers. If you like it more creamy, add more coconut milk.
  • Serve with rice or naan bread. This will help to soak up the delicious curry sauce.
