Panang Shrimp Curry is a delightful Thai dish that balances creamy coconut milk with aromatic spices. Follow these steps to create a mouthwatering Panang Shrimp Curry at home:

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 2-3 tbsp Panang curry paste
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp palm sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (optional, for a thinner curry)
  • Sliced red chili peppers, for garnish (optional)
  • Steamed jasmine rice, to serve

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Panang Curry Base:
    • Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of the coconut milk and stir until it starts to simmer and the oil separates.
  2. Cook the Curry Paste:
    • Add the Panang curry paste to the skillet and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add Shrimp and Vegetables:
    • Add the shrimp to the skillet and stir to coat them with the curry paste. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp start to turn pink.
    • Add the remaining coconut milk, fish sauce, and palm sugar. Stir well to combine.
  4. Simmer and Finish:
    • Allow the curry to simmer gently for 5-7 minutes until the shrimp are fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly.
    • If you prefer a thinner curry, you can add chicken broth at this stage.
  5. Add Bell Peppers and Basil:
    • Add the sliced red bell peppers to the curry and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
    • Stir in the fresh Thai basil leaves right before serving for a burst of herbal aroma.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve the Panang Shrimp Curry hot over steamed jasmine rice.
    • Garnish with sliced red chili peppers for an extra kick if desired.

Enjoy your homemade Panang Shrimp Curry with its rich flavors and creamy texture, perfect for a Thai-inspired dinner at home!
