Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon grated lemongrass
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooked jasmine rice, for serving
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Lime wedges, for garnish
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add thinly sliced red bell pepper and yellow bell pepper to the skillet, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet, and add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the other side. Cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, pour in the coconut milk and stir in the red curry paste, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, grated ginger, and grated lemongrass. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Once the curry sauce is simmering, add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet along with the chopped fresh basil leaves. Stir to coat the shrimp evenly with the sauce.
- Let the curry simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the Thai-Inspired Coconut Curry Shrimp with fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges.
- Serve hot over cooked jasmine rice.
- Enjoy the fragrant and flavorful Thai-Inspired Coconut Curry Shrimp, a delicious fusion of creamy coconut, spicy curry, and succulent shrimp that will transport you to the streets of Bangkok with every bite!
