How to Make Shrimp in Yellow Curry

1. Sauté Aromatics

Place a large, deep skillet over medium heat and pour in the peanut oil. Once hot, add the minced onion, followed by the garlic, galangal or ginger, and hot chili. Stir occasionally until the mixture becomes tender and pasty.

2. Bloom Spices

Stir in the yellow curry powder and cook for about a minute until the spices become aromatic and slightly darker.

3. Add Coconut Milk

Pour in the coconut milk and raise the heat slightly, stirring until the sauce thickens and reduces, creating a rich curry base.

4. Cook Shrimp

Add the peeled shrimp to the skillet, seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook just until the shrimp turn pink.

5. Season with Fish Sauce

Drizzle in the nam pla (fish sauce), and adjust the seasoning to taste.

6. Garnish and Serve

Garnish the curry with minced cilantro or mint leaves and serve hot.
