Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup chopped green onion
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 cup chopped mushrooms (crimini or shiitake preferred)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 to 3 tablespoons Thai curry paste
2 cups rich shellfish stock (see note below)
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons coconut milk (Mae Ploy brand preferred)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice (or to taste)
Salt and freshly ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Saute green onion, garlic, mushrooms and ginger with the olive oil in a large saucepan over moderate heat until just beginning to color. Stir in curry paste and continue to cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Add stock, wine and 1 1/2 cups of the coconut milk and reduce over high heat by half (approximately 5 to 7 minutes minutes). Add cream and reduce to a light sauce consistency. Strain carefully pressing down on the solids and return to the saucepan. Stir in lime zest, juice, remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut milk and season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
  • Note: Shellfish stock can be easily made by simmering raw shrimp shells (which hopefully you've saved in the freezer after you've peeled raw shrimp) with chicken stock and a splash or white wine for 5 to10 minutes. Alternately you can add a bit of shrimp paste (available in jars in Asian markets) or dried shrimp (available in Hispanic or Asian markets) to flavor the basic chicken stock. Don't ever use bottled clam juice!

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chili peppers. The dish was still very flavorful and delicious. I would definitely make this again.

I'm not a fan of coconut milk, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised. The coconut milk added a creaminess to the dish without being overpowering. The flavors were also very good.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I will definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili peppers next time.
