Rather like a deconstructed Thai Spring Roll. If you want to make it super easy, purchase pre-cooked shrimp from your deli counter. From Melissa Clark in the New York Times.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
3 tablespoons olive oil, extra virgin
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 lime, zest and juice, plus lime wedges for serving
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon Thai red curry paste
1 small shallot, very finely chopped
1/2 small green cabbage, cored and finely shredded (6 packed cups)
2 carrots, julienned
2 kirby cucumbers, very thinly sliced
1 cup unsalted dry roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
1 cup cilantro leaf

Steps:

  • Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and fill a bowl with ice water. Add the shrimp to the boiling water and cook until pink and curled, about 1 minute. Drain the shrimp and transfer them to the ice water to cool. Drain and pat dry.
  • Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil with the fish sauce, lime zest, lime juice, brown sugar, red curry paste and shallot. Add the cabbage, carrots, cucumbers and shrimp and toss until evenly coated. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes, until the cabbage is very slightly wilted. Toss the salad, top with the peanuts and cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality shrimp: Look for shrimp that are firm, translucent, and have a mild briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are slimy, discolored, or have a strong ammonia-like odor.
  • Use a combination of cooking methods: Searing the shrimp in a hot pan or grill before stir-frying will give them a nice browned exterior and help to lock in their flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When stir-frying, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp and cabbage from cooking evenly and will result in a soggy dish.
  • Use a high-quality oyster sauce: Oyster sauce is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a brand that is made with real oysters and has a thick, rich consistency.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's cooked. The shrimp will be at their best when they're hot and juicy, and the cabbage will still be crisp and tender.

Conclusion:

Thai Shrimp and Cabbage is a quick, easy, and flavorful dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your dish turns out perfectly every time.

This dish is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a good source of protein and healthy fats. It's also a relatively low-carb dish, making it a good choice for those on a low-carb diet.
