Thai Red Curry Shrimp And Calamari Recipes

COCONUT CURRY SHRIMP (CREAMY, THAI RED CURRY)

Steps:

• Bring to boil 1/2 cup coconut milk in a deep saute pan on medium heat. Add Thai red curry paste, 2 springs of Thai basil (do not chop/tear basil), paprika, and sugar and boil stirring often until paste is fragrant and coconut milk reduces to half. (4-5 minutes)
• Add remaining coconut milk, and vegetables (See Note 1). Bring to rolling boil on medium heat. Now add shrimp. Cook stirring often to prevent sticking at bottom, for 5-6 minutes or until shrimp turn pink.
• Take off heat. Fish-out and discard the cooked Thai basil stems (if still intact). Stir-in the fish sauce, 1 tsp lime juice, and remaining fresh Thai basil leaves. Now, taste and adjust salt, lime juice. Serve over rice with extra lime wedges for a delicious Thai Red Curry and rice dinner.

THAI RED CURRY WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Begin by cooking the rice. You can either cook it in an Instant Pot (1 cup rice with 1 cup water and a pinch of salt) for 5 minutes with a 10-minute natural release OR use my recipe for Never Fail Thai Coconut Rice, cooked on the stovetop. (link to recipe in Notes, below.)
• Peel and devein the shrimp or prawns. You can leave the tails on (they add flavour) or remove them first, your choice.
• Toss the shrimp with 2 teaspoons olive oil, minced garlic and red chili flakes. Set aside.
• Make the Thai red curry sauce. Combine the coconut milk with the fish sauce, curry paste, ginger, sugar, and lime juice. Set aside.
• Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onions and bell peppers until softened but not browned, about 5 - 7 minutes. Remove to a bowl.
• Add 2 teaspoons oil to the skillet. Cook shrimp (prawns) for a minute or two on each side, just until no longer translucent. Remove to a separate bowl.
• Transfer the onions and peppers back to the skillet and add the coconut curry sauce mixture. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until reduced by half.
• Add the shrimp back into the skillet. Stir in half the cilantro and basil leaves.
• Serve over jasmine rice. Garnish with the remaining cilantro, basil and sliced green onion.
