Time 25m

Yield 2-45 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups light coconut milk
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup canned pineapple chunk, drained
1/2 lime, juice of
1 lb shrimp, precooked and shelled
1/3 cup basil leaves, minced (Asian, if available, but Italian will do)

Steps:

In a medium skillet or saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of the coconut milk over medium high heat, stirring often, until it starts to thicken and smell fragrant. This usually takes 3 minutes.
Add the curry paste and cook a minute or two, pressing and stirring it in the milk, to dissolve it. Stir in remaining coconut milk, water, fish sauce, sugar, pineapple and lime juice and bring to a gentle boil. Do not cover. Let cook a couple of minutes, then add shrimp and basil. Let all the flavors simmer for a few minutes. There's lots of liquid, so serve over rice.
