SHRIMP IN YELLOW CURRY
Many Thai dishes are not unlike what we call curries, but although they may contain curry powder, they are more often based on a combination of herbs and aromatic vegetables, rather than dried spices. A typical curry might feature a mixture of garlic, shallots, chiles, lime leaf, sugar and galangal (or ginger). This simplified version leaves out the lime leaf and sugar, but benefits from the addition of a couple spoonfuls of fish sauce at the end of cooking. It is brightly flavored, but blessedly easy to toss together on a weeknight.

SHRIMP IN YELLOW CURRY
Thai Dishes called curries contain curry powder and a combination of herbs and aromatic vegetables. A typical dish might feature a mixture of garlic, shallots, chiles, lime leaf, sugar, and galangal or ginger. This curry, which features coconut milk, is just such a dish. Serve it with white or sticky rice.

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.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your curry.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your own taste. If you like it spicier, add more curry paste or chili peppers. If you prefer a milder curry, use less curry paste or omit the chili peppers altogether.
- If you don't have all of the ingredients on hand, don't worry. You can substitute other vegetables or spices that you have on hand. For example, you could use broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers instead of the zucchini and eggplant.
- Be patient. A good curry takes time to develop its flavor. Simmer it for at least 30 minutes, or even longer if you have time.
- Serve with rice or your favorite bread. Curry is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of sides.
Conclusion:
Shrimp in Yellow Curry is a classic Thai dish that is easy to make at home. With its fragrant aromas and vibrant flavors, this curry is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try!
