Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and slice the bell pepper, zucchini, mushrooms and bamboo shoots into thin, even pieces. Set them aside in a bowl.
Tip: Ensure all vegetables are cut uniformly to cook evenly.
Heat the Curry Base
In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the red curry paste and stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Tip: Stirring the paste in oil releases its full flavor and aroma.
Add Coconut Milk
Pour the can of coconut milk into the skillet and stir until the curry paste is fully blended. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Tip: Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer and creamier sauce.
Season the Curry
Stir in the fish sauce and brown sugar, mixing thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Tip: Add more fish sauce for saltiness or sugar for sweetness, depending on your preference.
Cook the Vegetables
Add the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, mushrooms and bamboo shoots to the skillet. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
Tip: Do not overcook the vegetables; they should retain a slight crunch for better texture.
Cook the Shrimp
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Stir gently and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque.
Tip: Avoid overcooking the shrimp as they can become rubbery.
Garnish and Serve
Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped fresh cilantro. Serve the curry over cooked rice with lime wedges on the side.
