Steps:

Add shrimp, salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, about 2-3 minutes; set aside. Add garlic, onion and bell pepper to the stockpot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in curry paste until well combined, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in coconut milk and vegetable stock, and cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in rice, shrimp, lime juice and cilantro. Serve immediately.

SHRIMP AND BROWN RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Mix together the shallot, half the garlic, the pepper, 1 tablespoon of the fish sauce and the shrimp. Set aside.
• Combine the remaining garlic and the lemon grass in a mortar and pestle, and grind to a paste. Alternatively, mince in a mini-chop.
• Combine the water or stock and water, remaining fish sauce and rice in a soup pot, and bring to a boil. Stir in the garlic and lemon grass paste, and reduce the heat. Taste the water and add salt if desired. Cover and simmer 40 minutes until the rice is tender.
