Instructions
1
In a wide skillet, heat 45 ml of oil over medium heat. Fry the shallots until golden brown, then stir in the panko breadcrumbs for 2 minutes until crisp. Remove from heat, toss with herbs and a pinch of salt, and set aside.
💡
Tip:Watch the shallots closely to prevent burning, as they transition from golden to dark very quickly.
2
Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Sauté the garlic, ginger, and curry paste for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the vegetables and cook until slightly softened.
💡
Tip:Cooking the curry paste briefly in the oil helps unlock the essential oils and deeper flavors.
3
Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce reduces and coats the back of a spoon.
💡
Tip:Use full-fat coconut milk for a luxurious, creamy mouthfeel.
4
Gently nestle the shrimp into the simmering sauce. Poach for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn opaque and pink.
💡
Tip:Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, or they will become rubbery.
5
Stir in the fish sauce and brown sugar to balance the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving over steamed jasmine rice, topped generously with the crispy shallot mixture.
