Number Of Ingredients 17

2 Tbsp peanut oil
1 lb medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed
13 1/2 oz can unsweetened coconut milk- don't stir it up - you will be using the thick cream for the surface first.
2 tsp prepared thai red curry paste
1 stalk(s) lemongrass, sliced
1 Tbsp fish sauce
2 tsp dark brown sugar
1 tsp kosher salt
8 ears canned baby corn (about 1/2 can)
4 scallions, white and green parts, chopped
1/2 c canned, sliced water chestnuts, drained
1/2 c canned, straw mushrooms, drained
1/4 c fresh basil leaves, torn
2 Tbsp torn mint leaves
1 lime
hot cooked jasmine rice
more sliced scallions for serving - white and green parts

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil in a large skillet, over med-high heat. Add the shrimp and stir-fry them until pink and curled, but not cooked through, approx. 2 minutes. Transfer them to a plate and set aside.
  • 2. Skim the thick cream from the surface of the coconut milk and add it to the skillet along with the curry paste. Cook, stirring, until smooth and fragrant and a bit shiny, approx. 1 minute. Stir in the remaining coconut milk, lemongrass, fish sauce, brown sugar, and salt. Simmer for about 3 minutes, uncovered.
  • 3. Return the shrimp to the skillet along with the baby corn, scallions, water chestnuts, and straw mushrooms. Simmer until the shrimp finishes cooking, approx. 3 minutes more.
  • 4. Take the pan off of the heat. Stir in the basil and mint. Squeeze in the lime's juice. Serve with the cooked and warm jasmine rice. Sprinkle with sliced scallions.
