Best Thai Shrimp Halibut Curry Recipes

EASY THAI SHRIMP CURRY

Steps:

• If you want to serve this recipe with rice, I suggest getting the rice going prior to starting the curry.
• Add the oil and onion to a soup pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the garlic and curry paste and cook for 30 seconds.
• Add the chicken broth and fish sauce. Let it come to a boil and cook for a couple of minutes.
• Reduce the heat and stir in the coconut milk.
• Add the shrimp and red pepper. Let the soup simmer gently (don't let it reach a crazy boil) for 5 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through.
• Add lime juice to taste (I used 1/2 a lime) and salt & pepper as needed.
• Add the cilantro, basil, and scallions prior to serving. Serve over rice (I love jasmine rice).

Add the curry paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth, coconut milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt and simmer until reduced to 2 cups, about 5 minutes.
• Season the halibut with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Arrange the fish in the pan and gently shake the pan so the fish is coated with the sauce. Cover and cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 7 minutes.
• Steam or microwave the baby spinach for 2 minutes.
• Arrange a pile of steamed spinach in the bottom of 4 soup plates. Top with the fish fillets. Stir the cilantro, scallions, and lime juice into the sauce and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Ladle the sauce over the fish and serve with rice.
