Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 kaffir lime leaves, roughly torn
1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup packed chopped cilantro stems and leaves, plus whole leaves, for serving
4 serrano chiles, seeded and roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic
2 shallots, quartered
One 1-inch-piece fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 stalk lemongrass (tender inner core from the bottom third only), roughly chopped
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce, plus more, optional
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
One 13 1/2-ounce can coconut milk
1 pound large head-on shrimp (about 12), peeled and deveined with heads and tails left on
Juice of 1 lime
12 small cherry tomatoes, halved
4 ounces snow peas, trimmed

Steps:

  • Put the kaffir lime leaves and 1/3 cup of the oil in a blender. Set at the blender's lowest speed, start the blender and slowly increase the speed to high. Blend for 25 seconds. Transfer to a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean small bowl and reserve. Clean the blender carafe.
  • Put the cilantro, chiles, garlic, shallots, ginger, lemongrass, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/3 cup water in the blender. Set at the blender's lowest speed, start the blender and slowly increase the speed to medium-high. Blend for 40 seconds to make a fine puree, stopping once to scrape down the sides of the carafe.
  • Heat the remaining 1/4 cup oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the cilantro puree. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick and olive green, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the fish sauce and brown sugar. Cook 1 minute more, then add the coconut milk and 1 1/4 cups water. Add more salt and fish sauce if desired. Bring to a simmer and cook gently for 5 minutes.
  • Turn the heat to medium-low and add the shrimp and lime juice. Cover and cook until the undersides of the shrimp are beginning to turn pink, about 3 minutes. Flip the shrimp, cover and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the tomatoes and snow peas, cover and cook until the shrimp are pink on both sides and cooked through, about 1 minute more.
  • Ladle the curry into 4 soup bowls. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves and drizzle with some of the kaffir lime oil.

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your curry will taste. Look for fresh, crisp vegetables, juicy shrimp, and flavorful curry paste.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your own taste: This recipe is a starting point, so feel free to add more or less of any ingredient to suit your own preferences. For example, if you like spicy food, you can add more curry paste or chili peppers. If you prefer a milder curry, you can use less curry paste or add some coconut milk.
  • Be patient: Thai curry takes time to develop its full flavor. Simmer the curry for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Thai curry is traditionally served with rice, but you can also serve it with noodles, quinoa, or vegetables. You can also add toppings like crispy shallots, chopped peanuts, or cilantro.
