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.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, plump shrimp and scallops, and use a variety of fresh herbs and vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the shrimp and scallops, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly. Work in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the shrimp and scallops until they are just cooked through: Overcooked shrimp and scallops are tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are opaque and firm, about 2-3 minutes per side for shrimp and 3-4 minutes per side for scallops.
  • Use a good quality curry paste: The curry paste is the key to the flavor of this dish. Look for a paste that is made with fresh, aromatic ingredients.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level: This recipe is written for a medium-spicy curry. If you like your food hotter, add more curry paste or red pepper flakes. If you prefer a milder curry, reduce the amount of curry paste or omit the red pepper flakes.

Conclusion:

This Thai curried shrimp and scallops dish is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it over rice or noodles, and enjoy!
