This is one of Emeril's recipes however, I've cut a corner or two by using purchased red curry, which you should add according to taste. NOTE: Here's RZ suggested substiution for Fish Sauce: 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce = 1 tbsp fish sauce; 1 tbsp soy sauce = 1 tbsp fish sauce
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1/2 cup chopped shallot
1 large red bell pepper, cut into strips
2 medium carrots, trimmed and shredded
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons thai red curry paste (or to taste)
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 tablespoons chopped thai basil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
cooked jasmine rice, accompaniment
1 sprig fresh cilantro, garnish
Directions:
1. In a large wok or saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
2. Add the shallots, bell peppers, carrots, and garlic, and stir-fry until soft, 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
4. Stirring, add the fish sauce and sugar, then the coconut milk and bring to a boil.
5. Simmer until thickened slightly, about 2 minutes.
6. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until pink and just cooked through, about 2 minutes.
7. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil and cilantro.
8. Serve over jasmine rice, garnished with cilantro sprigs.
