1 pound extra-large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground )
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 medium onion (chopped)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon fresh ginger (minced)
½ teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground )
½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
½ teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoon ground coriander

Steps:

  • In a small bowl toss the shrimp with the marinade ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

SHRIMP CURRY WITH COCONUT MILK



Shrimp Curry with Coconut Milk image

Provided by Andrew Zimmern

Categories     main-dish

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.

COCONUT CURRY SHRIMP

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons salted butter
1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined raw shrimp (I used U10, but any size is fine)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon curry powder
One 13 1/2-ounce can coconut milk (I used A Taste of Thai brand)
2 tablespoons honey, or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
Juice of 1 lime, or more to taste
12 fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish
Hot sauce, as needed, optional
Cooked basmati rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a large skillet (I used nonstick) over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, turning them over halfway through, until fully cooked, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the garlic and onions to the skillet and stir to cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the curry powder over the onions and continue cooking, stirring, for another couple of minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine. Add the honey, salt and lime juice, and allow the sauce to heat up until bubbling gently. Add the shrimp to the sauce, tossing to coat, and allow it to simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste the sauce and add more salt, lime juice or honey, depending on your taste. Stir in the basil. (Add hot sauce if you want a little kick.)
  • Serve the shrimp and sauce over a bed of cooked basmati rice, garnishing with more basil. Delicious!

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu
2 (14 ounce) cans light coconut milk
2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
1 medium eggplant, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon tamari
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 (10 ounce) package frozen peas

Steps:

  • Wrap tofu in several layers of paper towels. Place in a colander in the sink. Set a plate on top of tofu and weigh down with a large, heavy can. Let stand for at least 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, shake cans of coconut milk well prior to opening. Pour 1/2 of 1 can into a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk in curry paste until well blended. Add eggplant, onion, and bell pepper, stirring well with a rubber spatula to prevent breaking of tender eggplant during cooking.
  • Stir remaining 1 1/2 cans coconut milk, dark brown sugar, tamari, rice vinegar, and salt into the saucepan. Mix well. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes.

SPICY GOAN SHRIMP CURRY WITH EGGPLANT



Spicy Goan Shrimp Curry With Eggplant image

Taken from Ruta Kahate's "5 Spices, 50 dishes" and not modified in any way - this is the best curry I have ever eaten and had to share it with you. If you have a chance to buy Ruta's book do so - it is the best cookbook I have ever bought and the only cookbook I have done every recipe out of, it's just that amazing. A few notes: -- DO use seeds and finely grind them in a mortar and pestle - the flavors aren't quite the same if you use already ground spices. If you can't find seeds, then substitute it in the same quantities. -- If your family isn't keen on tough eggplant skins, you can peel them. -- Eggplants go from "undercooked and spongy" to "just well done pefection" to plain mush in a very short period of time. Watch them closely. We want a tofu consistency. -- Tomato sauce can be used in place of the small tomato in a pinch. About 1/3-1/2 cup will do. -- If you like less spicy, cut down on cayenne pepper. The Serranos actually cook down and taste like a bell pepper when done.

Time 28m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 small japanese or italian eggplants (about 12 ounces)
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup, not packed)
1 small tomatoes, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon coriander seed, finely ground
1/4 teaspoon cumin seed, finely ground
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 small green serrano chilies, cut lengthwise in half
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 lb shrimp, small or medium, peeled and deveined, tails off
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Slice the eggplants lengthwise in half and then crosswise into 1-inch chunks.
  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and saute the onion until softened.
  • Add tomato,garlic,cayenne,coriander,cumin, turmeric, and saute until the tomato has completely disintegrated. If necessary, deglaze the pan by adding a few tablespoons of water and using a spatula to loosen the browned bits if the mixture starts sticking to the bottom.
  • Add eggplants, chilies and salt, and mix well.
  • Cover and cook over low heat until eggplant is soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Add shrimp and stir gently,.
  • When shrimp begins to turn pink, add coconut milk and water. Continue simmering, uncovered, until shrimp is cooked through, another 5-8 minutes.
  • Very gently stir in the vinegar and remove from heat.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
  • This curry tastes even better the next day just reheat gently over low heat stirring carefully once in a while until just warmed to prevent overcooking the shrimp.
  • Serve with any plain rice or quinoa - my favorite.
