Instructions:
- Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- In a large pan or wok, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat.
- Add the shrimps and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the finely chopped onion and saute until translucent, about 2 minutes.
- Add the curry paste and stir well to combine with the onions.
- Pour in the chicken gravy and 2 cups of coconut milk. Stir well to combine with the curry paste and onions.
- Add the brown sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the pan, followed by the prepared rice noodles.
- Stir gently to coat the shrimp and noodles with the curry sauce.
- Add the sliced red hot chili peppers and roughly chopped coriander leaves. Stir to combine.
- Serve the Thai shrimp curry hot, garnished with additional coriander leaves and lime wedges if desired.
Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp for the best taste. If using frozen shrimp, ensure they are fully thawed and patted dry to avoid excess moisture.
- Adjust the amount of curry paste to control the heat level of the dish. Start with a small amount and add more according to your preference.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk instead of the light version.
- If you prefer a thicker curry, let it simmer for a longer time to reduce the sauce.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and sliced red hot chili peppers just before serving for an added touch of color and flavor.
