Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (sliced into thin strips)
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper (sliced into thin strips)
- 1 cup coconut milk (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 quarter cup fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional for extra heat)
- 4 cups cooked jasmine rice
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red and yellow bell pepper strips to the skillet, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the shrimp. Cook the shrimp for 2 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are opaque.
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the Thai red curry paste, coating the shrimp and vegetables evenly.
Pour in the coconut milk and mix well. Let the mixture simmer gently for 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and optional red chili flakes for additional heat. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the fresh basil leaves and sliced green onions.
Serve the Dynasty Thai Shrimp over cooked jasmine rice, garnishing with additional basil or lime wedges if desired.
