Instructions

Begin by heating oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the green curry paste and let it sizzle away for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes wonderfully fragrant.
Next, toss in the lemongrass, succulent shrimp, and aromatic kaffir lime leaves. Continue to fry for an additional 2 minutes.
Pour in the rich coconut milk and toss in the vibrant green beans, along with a touch of sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium and let your curry simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the green beans reach your desired level of tenderness.
Season your curry to taste with fish sauce, adding that savory depth of flavor that's quintessential to Thai cuisine.
For the perfect balance of Thai flavors – salty, sweet, sour, and spicy – toss in the green chilies, fresh cilantro, and squeeze out that zesty lime juice. Thai basil also makes excellent garnishes.

Notes

Feel free to use whatever vegetables you have on hand. While green beans are a personal favorite in shrimp curry, you can also experiment with bell peppers, zucchini, sugar snap peas, chayote, or any other veggies that tickle your taste buds.
