How To Make thai shrimp curry

  • 1
    Heat oil in a large skillet, over med-high heat. Add the shrimp and stir-fry them until pink and curled, but not cooked through, approx. 2 minutes. Transfer them to a plate and set aside.
  • 2
    Skim the thick cream from the surface of the coconut milk and add it to the skillet along with the curry paste. Cook, stirring, until smooth and fragrant and a bit shiny, approx. 1 minute. Stir in the remaining coconut milk, lemongrass, fish sauce, brown sugar, and salt. Simmer for about 3 minutes, uncovered.
  • 3
    Return the shrimp to the skillet along with the baby corn, scallions, water chestnuts, and straw mushrooms. Simmer until the shrimp finishes cooking, approx. 3 minutes more.
  • 4
    Take the pan off of the heat. Stir in the basil and mint. Squeeze in the lime's juice. Serve with the cooked and warm jasmine rice. Sprinkle with sliced scallions.
