Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 13.5-ounce cans coconut milk (about 3 1/4 cups)
1/4 cup yellow curry paste (such as Mae Ploy)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth or clam juice
1 medium carrot, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
1 small red bell pepper, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
1 small onion, chopped
1 15-ounce can baby corn, drained and rinsed, cut into pieces
5 sprigs Thai basil, with stems (or regular basil)
1 Thai chile (such as prik kee noo) or serrano chile, stemmed and thinly sliced
3 kaffir lime leaves (or the zest of 1 lime)
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
4 cups canola oil or safflower oil
8 ounces fresh thin rice noodles
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 ounces snap peas, halved
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup lightly salted peanuts, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, bring the coconut milk and curry paste to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, carrot, red bell pepper, onion, baby corn, basil, chile, lime leaves and fish sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cover the pan and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Pour the oil into a large wide saucepan. Attach a deep-fry thermometer to the side of the saucepan and heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Add half of the noodles and fry until crisp, about 20 seconds. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
  • Remove the lid from the curry and add the shrimp, snap peas and the remaining noodles. Simmer, uncovered, until the shrimp is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the lime leaves and basil sprigs and discard.
  • Ladle the curry into bowls. Garnish with the fried noodles, cilantro and peanuts.

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.

SHRIMP IN YELLOW CURRY (GANG LUENG GOONG)



Shrimp in Yellow Curry (Gang Lueng Goong) image

My husband loves this dish, and it's such a snap to make that he can make it himself. I have only lately become fond of Thai food, and yellow curry is my favorite, but I couldn't find many recipes for the same here. I found this on a Thai recipe site. It has a bright, sunny color and a lovely flavor...though I keep it a bit timid, but you can add some more chilies for more heat.

Categories     Curries

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 lb medium shrimp, deveined and cleaned
1 tablespoon oil
1 onion
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 garlic cloves, pressed
2 tablespoons yellow curry paste
2 cups light coconut milk (or 1 14oz can)
2 -3 potatoes, diced
2 carrots, sliced
1 bell pepper, sliced
2 chili peppers, chopped
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 spring onion

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan.
  • Brown onion and then and ginger and garlic.
  • Add curry paste, and mix well. It might be a bit globular, but don't worry - it will mix in nicely once you add the liquid next.
  • Add coconut milk and mix well. You can add about 1/3cup water if it is too thick.
  • Add carrot and potatoes and bring to a boil. Leave the pot uncovered so that the water previously added will evaporate and you will get a nice thick gravy.
  • When the carrots and potato are just about cooked, add shrimp, bell pepper, fish sauce, sugar, chili peppers and curry powder.
  • Simmer for 5 minutes until shrimp turn pink. Do not overcook at this stage as shrimp will turn rubbery.
  • Top with chopped spring onions just before serving.
  • (Note: Taste the curry and adjust seasonings as necessary at this time. Depending on the brand of curry powder you use, you may need to adjust the amount of sugar. I have found some bitter notes in certain brands, and increasing the sugar adjusts that. You can also add some red pepper flakes if you need more heat, or even at more of the yellow curry paste at the last step).

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:

  • Use fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have yellow curry paste, you can use red curry paste or green curry paste instead.
  • Adjust the amount of curry paste to taste. If you like a spicier curry, add more paste.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your curry. This will add flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. They should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
  • Serve the curry with rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

Shrimp in yellow curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. The curry is flavorful and creamy, and the shrimp are tender and juicy. Serve it with rice or noodles, and you have a complete meal that the whole family will enjoy.
