Key Lime Shrimp Red Curry Recipes

KEY LIME SHRIMP RED CURRY WW

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook onion and bell pepper in oil 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. (I prefer them cooked 12-15 minutes.) Move onion and bell pepper to side of skillet; add shrimp to other side. Cook shrimp about 2 minutes or until just starting to turn pink. (Or, use cooked frozen shrimp. Thaw under cold water and add with the curry paste and lime juice.) Add curry paste and juice of 1/2 lime, stirring well to incorporate.
• Remove from heat; cool 3 minutes (so yogurt does not curdle when added to mixture). Stir in yogurt.
• Serve over rice; top with fresh cilantro. Cut remaining 1/2 lime into 4 wedges; serve lime wedge with each serving.

LIME AND COCONUT SHRIMP WITH RED CURRY SAUCE

Steps:

• MAKE CURRY SAUCE
• Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking to blend. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat. Cover and let sauce stand at room temperature 10 minutes for flavors to blend. Strain. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
• MAKE KAFFIR LIME BATTER
• Using on/off turns, mix the flour, cornstarch, lime leaves, curry paste, sugar, and salt in a food processor until blended. Transfer the mixture to a medium metal bowl. Gradually whisk in 3/4 cup of ginger ale.
• MAKE SHRIMP
• Add enough oil to a heavy large saucepan to measure 1 1/2inches deep. Attach a deep-fry thermometer to the side of the pan (do not allow tip to touch bottom of pan). Heat the oil to 370°F to 380°F.
• Place the cornstarch in a shallow bowl. Place the coconut in a medium bowl. Lightly dredge the shrimp in the cornstarch, shaking off excess. Working in batches, dip the shrimp in batter to coat lightly, allowing excess batter to drip off, then dredge shrimp in the coconut. Fry the shrimp until cooked through and coconut is golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Divide the warm curry sauce among six plates. Stand 3 shrimp back-to-back on each plate. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and lime leaves and serve.

RED COCONUT CURRY WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno and cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer veggies to a bowl and set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium and add coconut milk, curry paste, brown sugar, and fish sauce to the pan. Whisk together and bring to a gentle boil.
• Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl; whisk to dissolve. Add to sauce and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Pat shrimp dry and add to the sauce along with the cooked veggies. Allow curry to simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are cooked through and opaque, 3 to 5 minutes. Top with Thai basil and serve with lime wedges.
