Best 10 Curry Paste Shrimp Recipes

AUTHENTIC AND EASY SHRIMP CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wok or large saucepan over nearly high heat. Add the onions; cook and stir until browned. Mix in the curry leaves, then season with the ginger garlic paste, coriander and salt. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
• Season with salt and turmeric, then mix in the tomato, chile powder, shrimp and water. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, until shrimp are opaque. Taste and adjust salt and chile powder if necessary. Season with garam masala, stir and remove from the heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with flat bread or rice.

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.

CURRY-PASTE SHRIMP

Steps:

• If you're starting off with frozen shrimp, don't thaw them; place in a sieve and rinse under cold running water until the ice crystals are melted; pat shrimp dry with paper towels; you can also use frozen cooked shrimp in this recipe as well, the recipe indicates the 2 different cooking methods.
• No matter what kind of shrimp you start out with, cooked or raw, place peeled shrimp and curry paste in a bowl and, using your hands, rub shrimp with curry to evenly coat; it is important that you've dried the shrimp well so the curry paste sticks.
• Core tomatoes, slice in half, then squeeze out and discard juice and seeds.
• Coarsely chop tomatoes and set aside.
• If using raw shrimp: place a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and, when hot, add shrimp.
• Stir-fry just until shrimp are a bright coral colour (this will only take 3 to 4 minutes); if shrimp stick, add a wee amount of butter to pan.
• If using frozen or fresh precooked shrimp: stir-fry only for 2 minutes, just until shrimp are heated through.
• Remove shrimp from pan and set aside; cover with foil to keep warm.
• Add tomatoes to pan and pour in cream; bring to a boil.
• Boil vigorously over medium-high heat, uncovered and stirring often, until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon; this will take about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Return shrimp to pan and stir constantly until shrimp are warmed through, about one more minute.
• Stir in ginger, if using, and sprinkle coriander on shrimp.
• Serve immediately over steamed white rice.
