Low-Fat Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp image

I found this recipe back in 2005 on a Canadian website called Just Add Milk (which doesn't seem to exist anymore). I've skipped the sake or sherry every time and it still turns out amazing.

THAI COCONUT RED CURRY WITH SHRIMP



Thai Coconut Red Curry with Shrimp image

Some years ago my friend's son took us to dinner in Wrigglyville (Chicago) to a place called Joy Noodles. I had the best red curry there I have ever had. It took awhile but I duplicated the recipe. I got a start by finding maybe 12 recipes online and finding the common ingredients. This is most excellent, and my own recipe.

Categories     Fish

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 clove garlic minced
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp fresh ginger minced
1-3 tsp red curry paste (1 for med-3 for hot)
1 can(s) 14oz coconut milk (unsweet not lite)
1/3 c water
1 tsp salt
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp fish sauce (important)
1 tsp brown sugar
1 lb fresh shimp peeled and deveined
1/4 c chopped green onion for topping

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil in a wok or a large frying pan. Add the garlic and saute'. Add the curry, ginger and the thicker cream from the top of the coconut milk and whisk a bit. Add the rest of the coconut milk, all the rest of the ingredients EXCEPT THE SHRIMP. Whisk again.
  • 2. Bring to a slow boil and simmer for 7 minutes, stirring every now and then. Add the shrimp and simmer until shrimp begins to curl and turn pink. Shrimp will get tough if cooked too long...
  • 3. Serve over hot Jasamine rice and garnish with green onion.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh shrimp, vegetables, and herbs will give your curry the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much shrimp or vegetables to the pan at once, they will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality curry paste: The curry paste is the base of the curry, so it is important to use a good quality one.
  • Add the coconut milk slowly: Adding the coconut milk too quickly can cause the curry to curdle.
  • Simmer the curry for at least 15 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the curry with rice or noodles: Curry is traditionally served with rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

Thai coconut curry shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
