Thai Coconut Red Curry with Shrimp image

Some years ago my friend's son took us to dinner in Wrigglyville (Chicago) to a place called Joy Noodles. I had the best red curry there I have ever had. It took awhile but I duplicated the recipe. I got a start by finding maybe 12 recipes online and finding the common ingredients. This is most excellent, and my own recipe.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 clove garlic minced
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp fresh ginger minced
1-3 tsp red curry paste (1 for med-3 for hot)
1 can(s) 14oz coconut milk (unsweet not lite)
1/3 c water
1 tsp salt
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp fish sauce (important)
1 tsp brown sugar
1 lb fresh shimp peeled and deveined
1/4 c chopped green onion for topping

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil in a wok or a large frying pan. Add the garlic and saute'. Add the curry, ginger and the thicker cream from the top of the coconut milk and whisk a bit. Add the rest of the coconut milk, all the rest of the ingredients EXCEPT THE SHRIMP. Whisk again.
  • 2. Bring to a slow boil and simmer for 7 minutes, stirring every now and then. Add the shrimp and simmer until shrimp begins to curl and turn pink. Shrimp will get tough if cooked too long...
  • 3. Serve over hot Jasamine rice and garnish with green onion.
