Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
thumb-sized piece ginger, finely grated
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp shrimp paste
1 small red chilli, shredded (deseeded if you don't like it too hot)
2 lemongrass stalks, split, then bruised with a rolling pin
1 heaped tbsp medium curry powder
1 heaped tbsp light muscovado sugar
small bunch coriander, stems finely chopped
400g can coconut milk
450g skinless hake fillets, cut into rectangles, roughly credit card size
220g pack frozen raw whole prawns
1 lime, halved
cooked rice, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a wide, lidded frying pan, then soften the onion for 5 mins. Increase the heat a little, stir in the ginger, garlic, shrimp paste, chilli and lemongrass, and cook for 2 mins. Add the curry powder and sugar, and keep stirring. When the sugar starts to melt and everything starts to clump together, add the coriander stems, coconut milk and 2 tbsp water, then bring to a simmer.
  • Add the fish to the sauce, tuck the prawns in here and there, then squeeze over half the lime. Pop on the lid and simmer for 5 mins more or until the hake is just cooked and flaking, and the prawns are pink through. Taste for seasoning, adding a squeeze more lime to the sauce if you like. Scatter over the coriander leaves and serve with rice.

THAI FISH FILLETS AND SHRIMP IN COCONUT MILK



Thai Fish Fillets and Shrimp in Coconut Milk image

I've been making this for DH for years, I don't always follow the recipe exactly, more in theory. So you can play with it a bit. The original recipe doesn't have shrimps, but I like them, and I don't eat fish, so it works quite well. I'm guessing at the amount of shrimp/prawns, use what looks good to you. If I don't have coriander roots, I use fresh chopped leaves. From Step-By-Step Thai Cooking

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the flavor of your dish. Whenever possible, use fresh fish, shrimp, and vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the fish and shrimp: Both fish and shrimp cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Otherwise, they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This dish is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add any vegetables you like, such as bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas.
  • Adjust the spice level to your liking: This dish can be made as mild or spicy as you like. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the chili peppers or use a milder variety.
