Thai Style Spring Roll Salad With Red Curry Shrimp Recipes

THAI RED CURRY WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Begin by cooking the rice. You can either cook it in an Instant Pot (1 cup rice with 1 cup water and a pinch of salt) for 5 minutes with a 10-minute natural release OR use my recipe for Never Fail Thai Coconut Rice, cooked on the stovetop. (link to recipe in Notes, below.)
• Peel and devein the shrimp or prawns. You can leave the tails on (they add flavour) or remove them first, your choice.
• Toss the shrimp with 2 teaspoons olive oil, minced garlic and red chili flakes. Set aside.
• Make the Thai red curry sauce. Combine the coconut milk with the fish sauce, curry paste, ginger, sugar, and lime juice. Set aside.
• Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onions and bell peppers until softened but not browned, about 5 - 7 minutes. Remove to a bowl.
• Add 2 teaspoons oil to the skillet. Cook shrimp (prawns) for a minute or two on each side, just until no longer translucent. Remove to a separate bowl.
• Transfer the onions and peppers back to the skillet and add the coconut curry sauce mixture. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until reduced by half.
• Add the shrimp back into the skillet. Stir in half the cilantro and basil leaves.
• Serve over jasmine rice. Garnish with the remaining cilantro, basil and sliced green onion.
