THAI COCONUT RED CURRY WITH SHRIMP



Thai Coconut Red Curry with Shrimp image

Some years ago my friend's son took us to dinner in Wrigglyville (Chicago) to a place called Joy Noodles. I had the best red curry there I have ever had. It took awhile but I duplicated the recipe. I got a start by finding maybe 12 recipes online and finding the common ingredients. This is most excellent, and my own recipe.

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.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

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:

  • To make the curry paste from scratch, blend together dried red chilies, lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, shrimp paste, garlic, shallots, and coriander root in a food processor until a smooth paste forms.
  • If you don't have time to make your own curry paste, you can use store-bought red Thai curry paste. Just be sure to choose a brand that is made with high-quality ingredients.
  • Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor. If you're using frozen shrimp, be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
  • To make the curry, start by sautéing the curry paste in a little bit of oil until it is fragrant. Then, add the shrimp and cook until they are pink and opaque.
  • Add the coconut milk, bamboo shoots, and bell peppers to the pot and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Season the curry to taste with fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar. Serve over rice with a garnish of cilantro and lime wedges.
