I love curry dishes and this recipe is so easy and quick to whip out if you don’t have much time to spare at the kitchen. All you need are Thai red curry paste, which you can readily bought from Asian grocery store, shrimp or substitute with meat of your choice and some vegetables you have in the fridge. I used egg plants, but I can see this recipe works with fresh mushrooms too. I used MAESRI Red curry paste, feel free to use whatever brand you like. This curry is so creamy, thanks to the coconut milk.
THAI RED CURRY WITH SHRIMP (4 servings)
What you will need:
- 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined, you can use fresh or frozen shrimps (thawed))
- 8 oz fresh mushrooms (sliced) or egg plants (quartered)
- 1 bell pepper – color of your choice (seeded and cut into strips)
- 12 oz coconut milk (or 6 oz coconut milk and 6 oz plain Greek yogurt)
- 2 Tbsp red curry paste (more if you want it spicier, I think 2 Tbsp is not too spicy)
- 1 handful of roughly chopped basil
- 1 Tbsp of fish sauce
- 1 tsp of canola oil
Instructions:
- Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the red curry paste and saute briefly for 15-20 seconds
- Add the coconut milk and mix to combine and bring it back to boil
- Add the mushrooms/egg plants and bell pepper. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes
- Taste and see if you want more curry paste or not, if so, this is the time to add more. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn color, which is about 2-3 minutes
- Turn off the heat and add in basil. Serve over cooked rice
