Best 2 My Favorite Thai Red Shrimp Curry Recipes

Thailand's red shrimp curry, or gaeng phed kung, is a fragrant and flavorful dish that combines the spicy heat of red chili peppers with the creamy richness of coconut milk. Typically made with shrimp, this dish can also be prepared with other seafood, such as fish or squid, or with chicken or tofu for a vegetarian option. The curry paste, which is the base of the dish, is made with a variety of ingredients, including red chili peppers, lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and shrimp paste, and is then simmered in coconut milk until fragrant. Once the curry paste is cooked, the shrimp and vegetables are added and cooked until tender. Serve the curry over rice and garnish with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil, for a delicious and authentic Thai meal.

MY FAVORITE THAI RED SHRIMP CURRY

My Favorite Thai Red Shrimp Curry image

This is my personal favorite curry. I adore red curry with shrimp. I have changed this dish to suit my taste buds. Another quick and easy to make dish, that never disappoints. I use collasal shrimps in this dish but you could use jumbo shrimps. It's a great meal served with rice but is just as nice served with cellaphane noodles.

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 tablespoon peanut oil
4 shallots, finely chopped
2 inches galangal, peeled and thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups coconut milk, canned
1/4 cup coconut cream, canned
2 stalks lemongrass, snapped in half
3 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons chili sauce, hot
1 tablespoon lime juice, fresh
1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
1 cup bamboo shoot, canned, thinly sliced, drained, rinsed
24 shrimp, collasal, uncooked, shelled
1/8 cup garlic chives (garnish)
4 cups rice, jasmine, steamed

Steps:

In a wok or large skillet, heat the oil and fry the shallots, galangal and garlic for 2 minutes.
Add the coconut milk and cream, lemongrass, fish sauce, chili sauce, lime juice, sugar and bamboo shoots. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes.
Next add the shrimp and simmer for 4 - 5 minutes.
Once the shrimp have turned pink remove the curry from the stove top and pour over the rice, garnish with the chives and serve immediately.

Tips:

Use the freshest shrimp available. Frozen shrimp can be used, but fresh shrimp will yield the best results.
To save time, use a store-bought red curry paste. However, if you have the time, making your own red curry paste is relatively easy and will result in a more flavorful curry.
Use full-fat coconut milk for the best flavor and texture. Reduced-fat or light coconut milk will result in a thinner, less flavorful curry.
Add vegetables to your curry for added flavor and nutrition. Some good choices include bamboo shoots, bell peppers, carrots, and green beans.
Serve your curry with rice or noodles. Jasmine rice is a good choice for a Thai red shrimp curry.

Conclusion:

Thai red shrimp curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its bold flavors and vibrant colors, this curry is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal, give this Thai red shrimp curry a try. You won't be disappointed!
