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.

Time 30m

Curry Shrimp and Rice image

My family and I absolutely love curry shrimp and rice. I created this version so I I can make it in a hurry. Except for the butter and shrimp, all the ingredients are right in my pantry. To add a little heat, we like to stir in a tablespoon of fresh ground chili paste. -Angela Spengler, Niceville, Florida

Tips:

  • Use a variety of spices. Curry powder is a must-have for shrimp curry, but you can also add other spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make shrimp curry. Feel free to adjust the ingredients and spices to your own taste.
