Zesty Flavors Unite: Dive into Coconut Lime Shrimp Curry Bliss

Learn how to make delicious Coconut Lime Shrimp Curry. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

If you’re out of red curry paste, don’t worry. A mix of curry powder and a pinch of chili flakes can work in a pinch. And for those who prefer a vegetarian option, swapping the shrimp for chickpeas or tofu works brilliantly.

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the red curry paste and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine with the curry paste. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Add the shrimp to the pan, followed by the fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar. Stir well to coat the shrimp in the sauce.
  5. Introduce the bell pepper and snap peas to the curry, allowing them to cook until just tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a thicker curry, let it simmer a bit longer to reduce.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Here’s a little tip from my kitchen: If you want to save even more time, prep all your ingredients the night before. Trust me, it makes the cooking process a breeze, especially on those hectic weekday nights.
