GREEN CURRY WITH SHRIMP

My wife Sarah introduced me to Thai curry before we were married, and now I like to make it for her! Starting with store-bought Thai green curry paste-which contains a blend of lemongrass, ginger or galangal, herbs and aromatics-makes it quick enough for even a weeknight meal.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tablespoons peanut oil
1 pound 16/20-count shrimp, deveined and shells removed
1 small yellow onion, sliced thin
1 jalapeno, sliced thin
Kosher salt
2 to 3 tablespoons Thai green curry paste
1/2 cup chicken stock
One 15-ounce can coconut milk
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon palm sugar or light brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves, sliced thin
1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, sliced thin
1/4 cup roasted salted peanuts, roughly chopped
Steamed rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Add 2 tablespoons oil to a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and par-cook by searing each side for about 1 minute, making sure to not crowd the skillet. Remove the shrimp to a plate and set aside. Return the skillet to the heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil along with the onions, jalapenos and a pinch of salt and cook until they start to brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Add the green curry paste and stir to combine; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock to deglaze the skillet, stirring. Add the coconut milk, fish sauce and sugar and mix well. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook until it thickens, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp to the curry and cook until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Ladle the curry into a serving bowl and garnish with the basil, mint and peanuts. Serve with steamed rice-a perfect combination.

GREEN CURRY WITH SHRIMP AND FISH (KAENG KHIAO)



Green Curry With Shrimp and Fish (Kaeng Khiao) image

An easy curry that you can adjust the hotness level by adding hot peppers to taste. I use Vietnam Basa catfish but you can use any firm whitefish. If you cannot find galangal (Thai ginger) regular ginger can be used. Modified from a recipe I found on a Thailand Tourism website.
