Shrimp Curry With Coconut Milk And Sugar Snap Peas Recipes

EASY THAI SHRIMP CURRY

Steps:

• If you want to serve this recipe with rice, I suggest getting the rice going prior to starting the curry.
• Add the oil and onion to a soup pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the garlic and curry paste and cook for 30 seconds.
• Add the chicken broth and fish sauce. Let it come to a boil and cook for a couple of minutes.
• Reduce the heat and stir in the coconut milk.
• Add the shrimp and red pepper. Let the soup simmer gently (don't let it reach a crazy boil) for 5 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through.
• Add lime juice to taste (I used 1/2 a lime) and salt & pepper as needed.
• Add the cilantro, basil, and scallions prior to serving. Serve over rice (I love jasmine rice).

THAI SHRIMP AND SUGAR SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Combine vegetable oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, and ginger in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add sugar snap peas; cook until bright green, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Stir water and cornstarch together in a small bowl until smooth; pour into the skillet. Add shrimp, coconut milk, and tomatoes. Increase heat to medium-high; cook until coconut milk is simmering and shrimp are light pink and firm, about 7 minutes. Sprinkle Thai basil on top.

EASY THAI COCONUT SHRIMP CURRY

Steps:

• Prep shrimp as needed. Should be peeled, cleaned, and thawed if frozen. I used extra-large shrimp but medium and large work great too.
• Dice onion, cut bell pepper into thin strips and chop, and mince or slice your jalapeno. For a spicier curry, include the jalapeño seeds and use two jalapeños. For a more mild curry remove the seeds and only use one jalapeno or skip entirely.
• Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large pan. Add onion, jalapeno, and bell pepper and cook until softened, approx 4-5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer veggies to a bowl and set aside.
• Over medium heat, add the coconut milk, red curry paste, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Whisk together and bring to a gentle boil. In a small bowl, add 1.5 TBSP cornstarch to 1.5 TBSP cold water and whisk to dissolve. Add to sauce and simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally. Approx 5 minutes.
• Pat shrimp dry and add to the sauce along with your cooked veggies. For more al dente vegetables, you can add them at the end if you prefer. Allow curry to simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are cooked through and opaque.
• At this point you can taste-test the curry and decide if you'd like more heat (cayenne or red pepper flakes may be added to amp up the spiciness) or extra of any of the ingredients. Sometimes I'll stir in extra red curry paste or add a teeny pinch of salt, to taste.
• Top with Thai basil. Serve with jasmine rice or basmati rice or see blog post for more tasty serving suggestions!

COCONUT SHRIMP WITH CREAMY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Combine flour, garlic powder and ginger in a shallow dish. Beat eggs in another shallow dish. Combine coconut and salt in a third shallow dish.
• Butterfly each shrimp by cutting halfway through the back and stopping at the tail, so that the tail stands up. Coat the shrimp in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip in the egg and let any excess drip off. Then coat with the coconut, leaving the tail uncoated. Place the shrimp, with the tail standing up, on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the shrimp are cooked through and the coconut starts to brown, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine yogurt, chili sauce and cilantro in a small bowl. Serve the shrimp with the yogurt sauce for dipping.
