Ingredients:

1 tsp peanut oil

1 onion

160g

2 garlic cloves

2 tbsp curry paste

30g

3 cups pumpkin

360g

1 tbsp fish sauce

16g

1 cup coconut milk

230g

2 red hot chili peppers

80g

24 oz shrimps

680g

1/2 cup green beans

120g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: First, make sure all ingredients are prepared as described: onion finely chopped, garlic minced, pumpkin peeled and cubed, chili peppers sliced, and green beans trimmed and cut.

2. Heat the Oil: In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the peanut oil over medium heat.

3. Cook Onions and Garlic: Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

4. Add Curry Paste: Stir in the curry paste and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing it to blend with the onions and garlic.

5. Add Pumpkin: Add the cubed pumpkin to the pot. Stir well to coat the pumpkin pieces with the curry mixture.

6. Add Coconut Milk and Fish Sauce: Pour in the coconut milk and fish sauce, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

7. Simmer: Cover and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender but not mushy.

8. Add Green Beans and Shrimp: Stir in the green beans and shrimp. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through and the green beans are tender.

9. Add Chili Peppers: Toss in the sliced chili peppers and stir to combine. Let it cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

10. Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot over steamed jasmine rice or with rice noodles if desired.

Tips:

- Make sure to use a fresh pumpkin for the best flavor and texture. Pre-cut pumpkin can save time.

- Don't overcook the shrimp; they should be added towards the end of the cooking process to keep them tender and juicy.

- If you prefer a milder curry, reduce the amount of red hot chili peppers or use a milder variety.

- For a richer flavor, you can use full-fat coconut milk instead of a lighter version.

- Consider adding fresh herbs like cilantro or Thai basil as a garnish for an additional layer of flavor.

Your Thai Shrimp and Pumpkin Curry is now ready to be enjoyed. Serve it hot with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal. The combination of textures and flavors in this dish makes it a delightful experience for the taste buds. Enjoy your homemade Thai culinary creation!
