Ground Pork And Shrimp In Coconut Milk Recipes

PORK (OR CHICKEN) STEWED IN COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Put oil in a large deep skillet or casserole that can later be covered; turn heat to medium-high. Brown pork on all sides, turning as necessary, and adjusting heat so the meat browns but does not burn. This will take about 20 minutes. Season it with a little salt and pepper.
• When the pork is just about browned, add shallots, chilies and ginger; brown a bit, then add about 2 cups coconut milk and the nam pla. Bring to boil, cover, and adjust heat for a steady simmer. Cook, turning occasionally, for at least 90 minutes, or until the pork is tender; add additional coconut milk if mixture dries out.
• When the pork is tender, remove to a platter. Stir lime juice into sauce; taste, and adjust seasoning, adding more chili, nam pla or lime juice as necessary. Carve meat, and serve it with sauce.

MINCED PORK AND SHRIMP IN COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Put the coconut milk, chiles, ginger, and garlic in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil.
• Stir in the pork and adjust the heat so the mixture simmers steadily. A minute later, add the shrimp. Cook, stirring, until both pork and shrimp are cooked through, about 3 minutes more.
• Stir in the nam pla, then salt and pepper if necessary. Remove from the heat and transfer to a serving bowl; garnish with the scallions, cilantro, and mint, and serve.

GINGER-GARLIC SHRIMP WITH COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, mix together the garlic, ginger, turmeric, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper and the olive oil. Add the shrimp and mix to coat well.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add the shrimp in an even layer and cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and soy sauce, stir to combine and turn the shrimp. Raise the heat to high and adjust it to maintain a simmer (avoid bringing to a boil), and cook until the liquid is slightly thickened and shrimp are almost cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Stir in the spinach in batches until wilted.
• Remove from the heat and squeeze in the juice from a lime half. Adjust seasoning with more lime and salt as needed. Top with the chiles, scallions and cilantro, and serve with rice, noodles or naan.
