Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons salted butter
1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined raw shrimp (I used U10, but any size is fine)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon curry powder
One 13 1/2-ounce can coconut milk (I used A Taste of Thai brand)
2 tablespoons honey, or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
Juice of 1 lime, or more to taste
12 fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish
Hot sauce, as needed, optional
Cooked basmati rice, for serving

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!

SHRIMP IN YELLOW CURRY



Shrimp in Yellow Curry image

Many Thai dishes are not unlike what we call curries, but although they may contain curry powder, they are more often based on a combination of herbs and aromatic vegetables, rather than dried spices. A typical curry might feature a mixture of garlic, shallots, chiles, lime leaf, sugar and galangal (or ginger). This simplified version leaves out the lime leaf and sugar, but benefits from the addition of a couple spoonfuls of fish sauce at the end of cooking. It is brightly flavored, but blessedly easy to toss together on a weeknight.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1 cup minced onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced galangal or ginger
1 teaspoon minced hot chili, or crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 tablespoon curry powder, or to taste
1 cup fresh or canned coconut milk
1 1/2 to 2 pounds medium-to-large shrimp, peeled
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons nam pla (fish sauce), or to taste
1/4 cup minced cilantro or mint leaves

Steps:

Add the shrimp, a few pinches of salt and a little black pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp release their liquid (the mixture will become quite moist again) and turn pink.
  • Add half the nam pla, stir, then taste and add the rest if necessary. Garnish with cilantro and serve with white or sticky rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp: Medium or large shrimp are best for this recipe, as they will hold their shape better during cooking.
  • Use fresh or frozen shrimp: If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of yogurt, spices, and herbs will help to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Make a flavorful curry sauce: The curry sauce is the key to this dish. Use a variety of spices, such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala, to create a rich and flavorful sauce.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables such as onions, peppers, and tomatoes add color, flavor, and texture to the curry.
  • Serve with rice or naan: Shrimp curry is traditionally served with rice or naan. You can also serve it with other sides, such as roti or paratha.

Shrimp curry is a delicious and versatile dish that can be easily customized to your liking. By following these tips, you can make a restaurant-quality shrimp curry at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give shrimp curry a try. You won't be disappointed!
