Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 kaffir lime leaves, roughly torn
1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup packed chopped cilantro stems and leaves, plus whole leaves, for serving
4 serrano chiles, seeded and roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic
2 shallots, quartered
One 1-inch-piece fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 stalk lemongrass (tender inner core from the bottom third only), roughly chopped
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce, plus more, optional
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
One 13 1/2-ounce can coconut milk
1 pound large head-on shrimp (about 12), peeled and deveined with heads and tails left on
Juice of 1 lime
12 small cherry tomatoes, halved
4 ounces snow peas, trimmed

Steps:

  • Put the kaffir lime leaves and 1/3 cup of the oil in a blender. Set at the blender's lowest speed, start the blender and slowly increase the speed to high. Blend for 25 seconds. Transfer to a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean small bowl and reserve. Clean the blender carafe.
  • Put the cilantro, chiles, garlic, shallots, ginger, lemongrass, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/3 cup water in the blender. Set at the blender's lowest speed, start the blender and slowly increase the speed to medium-high. Blend for 40 seconds to make a fine puree, stopping once to scrape down the sides of the carafe.
  • Heat the remaining 1/4 cup oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the cilantro puree. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick and olive green, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the fish sauce and brown sugar. Cook 1 minute more, then add the coconut milk and 1 1/4 cups water. Add more salt and fish sauce if desired. Bring to a simmer and cook gently for 5 minutes.
  • Turn the heat to medium-low and add the shrimp and lime juice. Cover and cook until the undersides of the shrimp are beginning to turn pink, about 3 minutes. Flip the shrimp, cover and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the tomatoes and snow peas, cover and cook until the shrimp are pink on both sides and cooked through, about 1 minute more.
  • Ladle the curry into 4 soup bowls. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves and drizzle with some of the kaffir lime oil.

EASY YUMMY KING PRAWN THAI GREEN CURRY



Easy Yummy King Prawn Thai Green Curry image

This is an easy recipe with amazing results. I first tried this with fresh chilli, lemongrass and ginger, but the things I list here can be kept as part of your fridge/cupboard stock and therefore this can be made at the drop of a hat, pretty much no prep needed, and tastes just as good. We have this on a weekly basis. The consistency of the sauce will be quite thin, which is fine, do not try to thicken it, it is meant to be that way. I serve this in a bowl, on a plate with the rice to the side, so you can scoop up a forkful of rice then dip and pick up prawns, mushrooms and sauce. I would recommend tasting once you put the stock etc in, if it is too sweet, add more stock, you can tinker with the amount of stock and coconut milk to your taste. The coriander must be fresh, it really makes the dish. Enjoy!

Tips and Conclusion

Tips:

  • To make the green curry paste from scratch, you'll need a mortar and pestle. If you don't have one, you can also use a food processor or blender. But a mortar and pestle will give you the best results.
  • You can adjust the spice level of the curry by adding more or less green chilies. If you're not sure how spicy you like your food, start with a few chilies and add more to taste.
  • Be sure to use full-fat coconut milk for the best flavor and texture. Light coconut milk will make the curry too thin and watery.
  • If you don't have bamboo shoots, you can substitute another vegetable, such as bell peppers, carrots, or snow peas.
  • Serve the curry with rice or noodles. Jasmine rice is a popular choice in Thailand.

Conclusion:

Thai green curry with prawns is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover prawns.
