Best 6 Thai Style Basil Shrimp With Basil Coconut Rice Recipes

THAI BASIL SHRIMP WITH COCONUT RICE

Steps:

• Add 1 cup water, 1 cup coconut milk, 1 tsp sugar and 1 tsp salt to a medium pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the rice and shredded coconut. Stir gently to combine and then place the lid on the pot and turn the heat down to the lowest setting. Allow the rice to cook on low for 10 minutes. Then, turn the heat off and let the rice sit, covered for another 15 minutes. *Do not open the lid during this time. The steam is required to finish cooking the rice.* (If using a rice cooker, just add all of your rice ingredients to the bowl and turn on)
• When the rice is done. remove lid and fluff with a fork. Gently stir in lime zest.
• To the base of a blender or food processor, add the roughly chopped fresno chilies (seeds included if you like spicy), garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, honey and 1 tbsp of avocado oil. Blend until mostly smooth. Pour the marinade over your raw shrimp and let sit for 15 minutes.
• In a large saute pan, heat the other tbsp of oil over medium high heat. When hot, add your sliced bell pepper to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until pepper starts to soften. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• In the same pan over medium high heat, add your shrimp one-by-one making sure to leave all the extra marinade behind. Working in batches if you need to, cook 1-2 minutes per side, only turning once. You want to get a light char on each side.
• Once your shrimp is done, turn off the heat and add in your basil leaves and sauteed peppers. Stir until the basil wilts. Serve over top of the coconut rice with some lime wedges. Enjoy!

THAI BASIL SHRIMP

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Cut the stem portion from the lime leaves to remove and discard.
• Place the lime leaves along with all other sauce ingredients in a food processor or chopper. Process well to form an aromatic paste. Taste-test for sweetness/sour balance, adding more sugar to taste (you will adjust the other flavors later). Set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell peppers and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons white wine as you go.
• Add the shrimp , stir-fry sauce and extra tablespoon of oil, if needed. Stir-fry 3 minutes, until shrimp are pink and plump.
• Turn down heat to low and fold in 1/3 cup chopped basil. Add the coconut milk a little at a time, taste-testing as you go (some people like this dish with coconut milk, and others prefer the more potent version without).
• Taste-test for salt and spice, adding more fish sauce if not flavorful or salty enough, or more lime juice if too salty. Add more coconut milk if too spicy.
• To serve it the way they do in Thailand, simply fry an egg in a little vegetable oil and lightly salt it.
• Tilt shrimp onto the plate. Add a generous topping of chopped fresh basil , and serve with Thai jasmine rice , topped with the fried eggs, if using. Often this dish is also accompanied with cucumber slices.
