4 tablespoons peanut oil
1 pound 16/20-count shrimp, deveined and shells removed
1 small yellow onion, sliced thin
1 jalapeno, sliced thin
Kosher salt
2 to 3 tablespoons Thai green curry paste
1/2 cup chicken stock
One 15-ounce can coconut milk
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon palm sugar or light brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves, sliced thin
1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, sliced thin
1/4 cup roasted salted peanuts, roughly chopped
Steamed rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Add 2 tablespoons oil to a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and par-cook by searing each side for about 1 minute, making sure to not crowd the skillet.

Shrimp and Coconut Curry With Green Beans image

This recipe from December 2010 Bon Appetit was just as good as it looked. DH and I really enjoyed it. Thanks to many of the ingredients going into the food processor, prep was not too laborious. Although the recipe did not specify, we served over jasmine rice, which worked really well.

Provided by ash77

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
4 tablespoons green curry paste (such as Thai Kitchen®)
2 cups chicken broth
¼ cup chopped fresh Thai basil
¼ cup chopped fresh mint
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1 ½ teaspoons dried basil

1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring coconut milk and curry paste to a boil in a large saucepan; boil for 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, Thai basil, mint, garlic, brown sugar, pepper flakes, dried basil, curry powder, and fresh ginger. Return to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes.
  • Add bamboo shoots and bell peppers; boil for 2 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer until all flavors have combined, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Saute until shrimp is bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 4 to 6 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut milk. Fresh coconut milk adds a rich, creamy flavor to the curry that canned milk just can't match. If you can't find fresh coconut milk, you can use unsweetened coconut milk from a can, but be sure to add a little extra water to the curry to thin it out.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp or chicken. Shrimp and chicken cook quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery, while overcooked chicken will be dry and stringy. Cook the shrimp and chicken until they are just cooked through, then remove them from the curry and set them aside.
  • Add vegetables to the curry. Vegetables add flavor, color, and nutrients to the curry. Some good vegetables to add include broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and onions. You can also add leafy greens, such as spinach or kale, at the end of the cooking process.
  • Serve the curry with rice or naan. Curry is traditionally served with rice or naan. Rice is a good choice because it soaks up the flavorful sauce, while naan is a good choice because it can be used to scoop up the curry.

Conclusion:

Green coconut shrimp and chicken curry is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a green coconut shrimp and chicken curry that is sure to impress your family and friends.
