Best Red Coconut Curry With Shrimp Recipes

COCONUT CURRY SHRIMP (CREAMY, THAI RED CURRY)

Steps:

• Bring to boil 1/2 cup coconut milk in a deep saute pan on medium heat. Add Thai red curry paste, 2 springs of Thai basil (do not chop/tear basil), paprika, and sugar and boil stirring often until paste is fragrant and coconut milk reduces to half. (4-5 minutes)
• Add remaining coconut milk, and vegetables (See Note 1). Bring to rolling boil on medium heat. Now add shrimp. Cook stirring often to prevent sticking at bottom, for 5-6 minutes or until shrimp turn pink.
• Take off heat. Fish-out and discard the cooked Thai basil stems (if still intact). Stir-in the fish sauce, 1 tsp lime juice, and remaining fresh Thai basil leaves. Now, taste and adjust salt, lime juice. Serve over rice with extra lime wedges for a delicious Thai Red Curry and rice dinner.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet, at least 12-inches, over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, while stirring continuously.
• Add the coconut milk, curry paste, honey, fish sauce, peanut butter, and water. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a simmer and whisk the sauce until smooth and lump-free.
• Add bell peppers and cook for about 5-7 minutes, covered, or until the peppers are almost tender. Slightly reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
• In the meantime, lightly pat dry the shrimp with a few sheets of paper towel to remove excess moisture. Season the shrimp all over with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Uncover the sauce and stir in the shrimp and cook for about 3 minutes or until shrimp just turn opaque, stirring often. The sauce will also slightly reduce and thicken.
• Stir in lime juice, lime zest, and cilantro. Serve over cooked rice.

Steps:

• Heat oil in large, nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion, red pepper, and garlic until vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
• Season with cumin, coriander, and curry powder. Cook for 1 more minute. Stir in coconut milk, sugar, and crushed red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered for 2 minutes.
• Stir in shrimp, and increase heat to medium-high. Cook and stir until shrimp is cooked through, about 4 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Stir into shrimp mixture, and cook until sauce has thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in cilantro, and remove from heat.

COCONUT SHRIMP WITH RED CURRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 3 inches of oil in a large deep skillet or heavy pot to 325 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch, egg whites, salt, and pepper until foamy. Spread the coconut out in a pie dish. Dredge the shrimp with the cornstarch/egg white mixture and shake off any excess. Press the shrimp into the coconut flakes; turn shrimp over and press into coconut again to coat both sides.
• Deep-fry the shrimp in batches until the coconut is golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp to paper towels to drain. Arrange the shrimp on a platter, serve immediately with red curry sauce and garnish with green onion and mint.
• Place a small pot over medium heat and coat with the oil. Stir the red curry paste into the pan and fry that up until aromatic. Slowly pour in the coconut milk and continue to stir to incorporate. Add the lime juice (and 1 of the squeezed out halves for added flavor) and cook for 5 to 10 minutes to thicken. Pour the sauce into a nice serving bowl and serve with the coconut shrimp.
• Yield: 1 cup

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large skillet (I used nonstick) over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, turning them over halfway through, until fully cooked, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
• Add the garlic and onions to the skillet and stir to cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the curry powder over the onions and continue cooking, stirring, for another couple of minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine. Add the honey, salt and lime juice, and allow the sauce to heat up until bubbling gently. Add the shrimp to the sauce, tossing to coat, and allow it to simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste the sauce and add more salt, lime juice or honey, depending on your taste. Stir in the basil. (Add hot sauce if you want a little kick.)
• Serve the shrimp and sauce over a bed of cooked basmati rice, garnishing with more basil. Delicious!
