CREAMY COCONUT CURRY WITH SHRIMP AND CORN

Creamy coconut curry made with coconut milk, shrimp, and corn. It all starts with a homemade curry sauce that’s as simple as tossing a few ingredients in the blender. This coconut green curry is luxurious yet easy enough for weeknights!

NGREDIENTS:

CURRY PASTE:

1 small bunch cilantro (or ½ a large)

1-2 jalapeños, seeded and ribbed

2 whole garlic cloves

¼ teaspoon cumin

¼ cup water

SHRIMP + CORN COCONUT CURRY:

1 tablespoon coconut oil (or any clear oil you prefer)

¼ teaspoon ground turmeric

1 (15 ounce) can full fat coconut milk

½ teaspoon salt (or more to taste)

½ cup chicken broth

1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined (tail on or off)

1 ¼ cup fresh or frozen corn kernels

2-3 tablespoons lemon juice

DIRECTIONS:

CURRY PASTE: combine the ingredients for the curry paste in a blender and blend until completely smooth.

SHRIMP + CORN COCONUT CURRY: Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium high heat. Add the prepared paste and turmeric and cook for about 2-4 minutes or until it’s fragrant and thickens into a paste. Add the chicken broth, coconut milk, and salt and allow the curry to come to a simmer before adding in the shrimp and corn. Allow the curry to come back to a simmer before lowering the heat. Cover and let it cook for 5-7 minutes or until the shrimp curl into a ‘c’ shape. Turn the stove off, add 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice and give it a taste. Add the third tablespoon if desired. I prefer mine with 3 tablespoons.

SERVE: The curry with be a little thin, it’s thinner than a traditional curry but thicker than a soup. I like to serve it in a bowl with rice and top it with red pepper flakes and chopped cilantro!

NOTES:

You can make this curry with chicken if you’d like too (which is how I ate it growing up). Add the chicken once the paste has cooked through and cook for 1-2 minutes before adding in the chicken broth/coconut milk. Follow the rest of there recipe as written and simply omit the shrimp!
