Best Thai Saute Shrimp With Asian Slaw Recipes

THAI SHRIMP CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 3 minutes. If the onions start to brown, reduce the heat to medium. Add the scallions, garlic, and green curry paste, and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes more. Add the coconut milk, water, fish sauce, and sugar and bring to a gentle boil. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and sprinkle with the cilantro (or basil). Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary, and serve with jasmine rice.
• Note: For the shrimp, I recommend buying frozen shrimp labeled "shell split and deveined." Most shrimp are cleaned and flash frozen shortly after being caught, so the "fresh" shrimp you see in the seafood case at the supermarket are typically thawed frozen shrimp. Who knows how long they've been sitting there, so you're better off buying frozen shrimp and defrosting it yourself. Come dinnertime, all you have to do is run the shrimp under water to defrost, and then peel.

EASY STIR-FRIED THAI GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a bowl, combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, garlic, lime juice, and chili pepper. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
• Place shrimp in the marinade and stir well to coat.
• In a wok or frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp along with the marinade.
• Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until the shrimp are plump and pink. They will also be lightly browned from the sauce. Avoid overcooking or the shrimp will turn rubbery.
• Test the sauce for taste and adjust as needed to achieve a salty-sweet balance. Add more sugar if it's too sour. If it's too salty or sweet, add more lime juice.
• Top the shrimp with coriander and add some lemon slices on the side. Enjoy!
