Ingredients

  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 1 ½ cups coconut milk

US Customary - Metric

Instructions
 

  • Heat up cooking oil in a wok or large pan.
  • Saute onion and garlic over medium heat.
  • As soon as the onion starts to turn translucent, add red curry paste. Saute the paste for a few seconds.
  • Add coconut milk and stir well. Allow the curry to simmer but stir occasionally to keep it from burning. It will start to thicken up quickly.
  • As soon as the ingredients are well combined, add the shrimp.
  • Keep stirring and allow the shrimp to cook in the curry sauce. Allow it to boil gently. The shrimp will start to curl up as they cook.
  • When all of the shrimp are cooked, add sugar, fish sauce and half of the kaffir lime leaves.
  • Give it a good stir, then transfer to a serving bowl.
  • Garnish with the rest of the lime leaf strips and red chili strips.
  • Serve with steamed rice or with your favorite pasta.
  • Enjoy!
