Coconut Shrimp Curry
ServesServes 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 Birdseye chili, thinly sliced
- Any other chili works - if you have a jalapeño or Serrano or whatever, use it!
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- If you don’t have fish sauce, use 4 anchovies packed in oil
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp curry powder or paste (Thai is preferred but whatever you have works)
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- If you’re averse to spice, remove the seeds or omit entirely
- Salt shrimp. Cook in heated, lightly oiled skillet until cooked through. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, add about 1 tsp oil. Add garlic, ginger, chopped birdseye chili and cook until fragrant. (If you want it extra spicy you can also add a tsp of dried chili flakes here)
- Add fish sauce (or anchovies), curry powder and tomato paste. Allow to cook for about a minute and “caramelize” a bit and then add coconut milk, chicken broth + sugar.
- Bring to a boil and allow to thicken up a bit, then take off heat.
- Serve over rice, rice noodles, or egg noodles. Garnish with more chopped birdseye chili and Thai basil (or cilantro)
