If you like Thai food, I think green curry is one of the best. Often, you’ll see green curry made with chicken, but today I’ll show you how to make it with shrimp. It’s a little spicy, has a lot of coconut milk, and is both savory and sweet at the same time.
GREEN CURRY PASTE
I’ll show you how to prepare your green curry paste so that you may make this dish. You can use Store-bought curry paste from Asian markets or online for everyday cooking and a quick Thai curry at home.
I’m a fan of the Maesri brand in green curry paste. So there’s no waste because it’s in a bit of can. Storage in the refrigerator can keep it fresh for an extended period.
TIPS ON HOW TO COOK SHRIMP CURRY
- Make sure you don’t overcook the shrimp in curry. In a simmering curry sauce, shrimp are done when they turn pink and curl up.
- Coconut milk is used to make shrimp curry. If you want to enjoy a truly Thai experience, go for Thai-made canned coconut milk. Coconut cream can also make a thicker and richer curry sauce.
- Zucchini and red bell pepper are included in the curry sauce in this dish. Make sure you don’t overcook the potatoes.
