Red Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp
Description
In Red Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp, shrimp are cooked in a pan with neutral oil, scallion whites, and Thai red curry paste to build a flavorful foundation. Minced garlic and seasoning salt enhance the aroma and taste. Coconut milk is added to create a creamy sauce, balanced with fish sauce for umami depth. The shrimp cook in the sauce just until tender, preserving their texture.
Chopped scallion greens and fresh cilantro are stirred in at the end, adding a fresh herbal note and color contrast. The final dish has tender, slightly spicy shrimp enveloped in a creamy, lightly tangy curry sauce.
It is best served over steamed rice or cauliflower rice to soak up the sauce and complement the curry’s richness. Optional lime wedges can be served on the side to add a bright, acidic contrast.
