SHRIMP IN YELLOW CURRY (GANG LUENG GOONG)

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan.
• Brown onion and then and ginger and garlic.
• Add curry paste, and mix well. It might be a bit globular, but don't worry - it will mix in nicely once you add the liquid next.
• Add coconut milk and mix well. You can add about 1/3cup water if it is too thick.
• Add carrot and potatoes and bring to a boil. Leave the pot uncovered so that the water previously added will evaporate and you will get a nice thick gravy.
• When the carrots and potato are just about cooked, add shrimp, bell pepper, fish sauce, sugar, chili peppers and curry powder.
• Simmer for 5 minutes until shrimp turn pink. Do not overcook at this stage as shrimp will turn rubbery.
• Top with chopped spring onions just before serving.
• (Note: Taste the curry and adjust seasonings as necessary at this time. Depending on the brand of curry powder you use, you may need to adjust the amount of sugar. I have found some bitter notes in certain brands, and increasing the sugar adjusts that. You can also add some red pepper flakes if you need more heat, or even at more of the yellow curry paste at the last step).

SHRIMP IN YELLOW CURRY

Steps:

• Put the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and chiles and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender and the mixture pasty. Add the curry powder and cook, stirring, for another minute.
• Add the coconut milk and raise the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring only occasionally, until the mixture is reduced by about half. (The dish can be prepared to this point a few hours in advance.)
• Add the shrimp, a few pinches of salt, and a little black pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp release their liquid (the mixture will become quite moist again) and turn pink, 5 to 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon nam pla, stir, then taste and add the rest if necessary. Garnish with cilantro.
• Almost all shrimp are frozen before sale. So unless you're in a hurry, you might as well buy them frozen and defrost them yourself; this will guarantee you that they are defrosted just before you cook them, therefore retaining peak quality.
• There are no universal standards for shrimp size; large and medium don't mean much. Therefore, it pays to learn to judge shrimp size by the number per pound, as retailers do. Shrimp labeled 16/20, for example, contain sixteen to twenty per pound; those labeled U-20 require fewer (under) twenty to make a pound. Shrimp from fifteen to about thirty per pound usually give the best combination of flavor, ease (peeling tiny shrimp is a nuisance), and value (really big shrimp usually cost more than $15 a pound).
• On deveining: I don't. You can, if you like, but it's a thankless task, and there isn't one person in a hundred who could blind-taste the difference between shrimp that have and have not been deveined.

SHRIMP CURRY

Steps:

• In a small food processor (mini-chopper), combine the garlic and ginger and puree into a paste. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the cloves, cardamom, allspice, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf and cook, stirring constantly, until toasted and fragrant and the cinnamon stick unfurls, about 30 seconds. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic-ginger paste, curry powder, and jalapeno and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato, coconut milk, and cook, stirring, until the oil separates from the sauce and there is a distinctive frying sound as the sauce begin to "refry", about 7 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring, for about 1 minute more. Add the water and salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has thickened, about 6 minutes. Add shrimp, cover, and bring to a simmer and cook until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the coriander and lime juice. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with rice.

Cover the pan and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.

• Remove the lid from the curry and add the shrimp, snap peas and the remaining noodles. Simmer, uncovered, until the shrimp is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the lime leaves and basil sprigs and discard.
