Steps:
- Before You Cook If using any fresh produce, thoroughly rinse and pat dry Cooking Guidelines To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures: Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) | Seafood 145° F | Chicken 165° F | Ground Beef 160° F | Ground Turkey 165° F | Ground Pork 160° F 1 Cook the Rice Bring a small pot with 1 1/2 cups water and jasmine rice to a boil.

Stem, seed, and thinly slice red bell pepper into thin strips. Mince garlic. Stem and coarsely chop cilantro (reserve a few leaves for garnish). Pull any strings from snow peas. Rinse shrimp, pat dry, and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. 3 Sear the Shrimp Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. sesame oil (reserve remaining for curry). Add shrimp to hot pan and cook 2 minutes, or until browned. Transfer shrimp to a plate. (Shrimp will finish cooking in a later step.)

SIMPLE THAI RED CURRY SHRIMP
The executive chef at the university where I work gives occasional cooking classes, and this recipe was easy and delicious. Works well as an appetizer for 10 (if you have bread to sop up the sauce!) or as an entree for 4 over rice or pasta. Chef Chad Licsko directed us to try to balance sweet, sour, and savory elements of the sauce, which gave us lots of excuses to check for taste!!

Steps:
- Heat 1 T. of the oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add the ginger, garlic, and scallion, stirring until tender and very fragrant, but not browned, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the curry paste, mixing well, and continue sautéing 3 - 4 more minutes.
- Add coconut milk, mixing well (coconut milk often separates in the can), and then add tomatoes and their juice, sugar, and cream.
- Add 1/4 cup lime juice and check for taste. Add more if needed.
- Break the lemongrass at several points along the stem and add to mixture. Don't worry if it does not break completely: you're just trying to release its juices. Add salt and pepper to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and allow to cook 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, first peel and then devein the shrimp. To devein, use a small, sharp knife to slice open the back of the shrimp (the side without legs) to expose a black, stringy vein. A paper towel in hand does an excellent job of grabbing the vein in one piece out of the slippery shrimp. Rinse cleaned shrimp in cold water and drain. Pat dry. Discard shells and veins and wash hands and equipment thoroughly.
- Heat the remaining oil in another skillet until hot but not smoking. Add the shrimp in one layer, about 1 minute per side, until just pink. Shrimp are very easy to overcook. Remove from heat.
- Remove lemongrass and add sauce to shrimp. Serve over hot rice, garnished with fresh parsley.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your curry will taste. Look for plump shrimp, calamari, and vegetables.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your liking: If you like your curry spicier, add more red curry paste. If you prefer a milder curry, use less paste. You can also add more vegetables or protein if you like.
- Cook the curry over medium heat: This will help prevent the curry from burning and allow the flavors to develop.
- Serve the curry with rice or noodles: This will help soak up the delicious sauce.
