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.

THAI SHRIMP AND VEGETABLE CURRY



Thai Shrimp and Vegetable Curry image

I put this together a couple of years ago when I was heavy into low carb. I love curries and this one suits for either low carb or diabetic. Use brown sugar instead of Splenda if you are not watching your diet and serve with rice if you like.

Categories     Curries

Time 40m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 small onion, chopped (optional, may substitute bamboo shoots but add those when you add coconut milk and do not saute)
2 garlic cloves, chopped (2 to 3)
1 medium zucchini, roll cut
8 ounces button mushrooms (halved or quartered)
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 hot chili pepper, sliced (Thai style or serrano preferred, 1 to 3)
14 ounces light coconut milk
1 tablespoon red curry paste (amount to taste, 1 to 3)
3 -4 substitute some lime zest or 3 -4 lemongrass
2 teaspoons Splenda granular (or to taste)
2 tablespoons fish sauce (nam pla)
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaf (preferably Thai basil)

Steps:

  • In a large deep skillet, heat oil and add onions, garlic and chopped chillies and cook for 1-3 minutes.
  • If you are sensitive to volatile odors from heated chillies, just add them when you add the coconut milk, but in any case, vent the cooking area.
  • Add the zucchini, mushrooms, and bell pepper to the pan, cooking until they are half-tender.
  • Add coconut milk, curry paste, lime leaves, Splenda and fish sauce, stirring mixture until curry paste mingles with the coconut milk.
  • Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until vegetables are mostly cooked through.
  • Add shrimp to the pan and stir over medium heat, uncovered, until shrimp become pink but are not curled too tightly (tightness makes them tough).
  • Either stir basil into the curry or use as a garnish, whichever you prefer.

SHRIMP IN YELLOW CURRY



Shrimp in Yellow Curry image

Thai Dishes called curries contain curry powder and a combination of herbs and aromatic vegetables. A typical dish might feature a mixture of garlic, shallots, chiles, lime leaf, sugar, and galangal or ginger. This curry, which features coconut milk, is just such a dish. Serve it with white or sticky rice.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1 cup minced onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon minced fresh chiles or hot red pepper flakes 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 and, if you like, deveined
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons nam pla or nuoc mam (fish sauce), or to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or mint

Steps:

  • Put the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and chiles and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender and the mixture pasty. Add the curry powder and cook, stirring, for another minute.
  • Add the coconut milk and raise the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring only occasionally, until the mixture is reduced by about half. (The dish can be prepared to this point a few hours in advance.)
  • 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, 5 to 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon nam pla, stir, then taste and add the rest if necessary. Garnish with cilantro.
  • Almost all shrimp are frozen before sale. So unless you're in a hurry, you might as well buy them frozen and defrost them yourself; this will guarantee you that they are defrosted just before you cook them, therefore retaining peak quality.
  • There are no universal standards for shrimp size; large and medium don't mean much. Therefore, it pays to learn to judge shrimp size by the number per pound, as retailers do. Shrimp labeled 16/20, for example, contain sixteen to twenty per pound; those labeled U-20 require fewer (under) twenty to make a pound. Shrimp from fifteen to about thirty per pound usually give the best combination of flavor, ease (peeling tiny shrimp is a nuisance), and value (really big shrimp usually cost more than $15 a pound).
  • On deveining: I don't. You can, if you like, but it's a thankless task, and there isn't one person in a hundred who could blind-taste the difference between shrimp that have and have not been deveined.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your dish comes together quickly and easily.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your curry will taste. Look for vegetables that are crisp and brightly colored, and use fresh herbs and spices whenever possible.
  • Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a Good Quality Curry Paste: The curry paste is what gives this dish its flavor, so don't skimp on the quality. Look for a paste that is made with fresh ingredients and has a good balance of flavors.
  • Adjust the Heat Level to Your Liking: This curry can be made as mild or spicy as you like. Add more chili peppers or curry paste for a spicier dish, or omit them altogether for a milder curry.

Conclusion:

This shrimp and vegetable yellow curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with rice or your favorite naan bread.
