Green Thai Shrimp Curry Recipes

GREEN CURRY WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Add 2 tablespoons oil to a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and par-cook by searing each side for about 1 minute, making sure to not crowd the skillet. Remove the shrimp to a plate and set aside. Return the skillet to the heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil along with the onions, jalapenos and a pinch of salt and cook until they start to brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add the green curry paste and stir to combine; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock to deglaze the skillet, stirring. Add the coconut milk, fish sauce and sugar and mix well. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook until it thickens, about 10 minutes.
• Add the shrimp to the curry and cook until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Ladle the curry into a serving bowl and garnish with the basil, mint and peanuts. Serve with steamed rice-a perfect combination.

THAI SHRIMP CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 3 minutes. If the onions start to brown, reduce the heat to medium. Add the scallions, garlic, and green curry paste, and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes more. Add the coconut milk, water, fish sauce, and sugar and bring to a gentle boil. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and sprinkle with the cilantro (or basil). Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary, and serve with jasmine rice.
• Note: For the shrimp, I recommend buying frozen shrimp labeled "shell split and deveined." Most shrimp are cleaned and flash frozen shortly after being caught, so the "fresh" shrimp you see in the seafood case at the supermarket are typically thawed frozen shrimp. Who knows how long they've been sitting there, so you're better off buying frozen shrimp and defrosting it yourself. Come dinnertime, all you have to do is run the shrimp under water to defrost, and then peel.
