Instructions:
- Peel and devein the shrimp if you haven't already.
- Chop the coriander leaves and set them aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of curry paste. Cook the paste for about 1 minute to release its flavors.
- Pour in 1 cup of coconut milk and stir well to combine with the curry paste.
- Add 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of water. Stir everything together until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is well mixed.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, and cook it for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. The sauce should thicken slightly.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the curry sauce to coat evenly. Allow them to heat through for about 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle the chopped coriander leaves over the top.
- Serve the Thai shrimp curry hot over steamed rice or with your favorite side. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp, freshly squeezed lime juice, and fresh coriander leaves.
- Adjust the Spice Level: If you prefer a spicier curry, add more curry paste or even a few slices of fresh chili. For a milder version, use less curry paste.
- Do Not Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly. Overcooking them can make them tough and rubbery. Keep an eye on them and remove from the heat as soon as they turn pink and opaque.
- Balance the Flavors: Taste the curry before serving and adjust the lime juice, sugar, and curry paste to balance the flavors to your liking.
- Serve Immediately: Thai shrimp curry is best enjoyed hot and fresh. Serve immediately after cooking for the best taste and texture.
