Ingredients

  • about 30 raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons green curry paste (1 jar)
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons minced ginger
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • two tablespoons cornstarch mixed with two tablespoons water
  • -Optional
  • You can add some veggies if you like
  • I always add a bit of sriracha, but it really is spicy enough with the pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. In a deep skillet or wok, melt your coconut oil over medium-high heat. 
  2. Add your ginger and garlic.  Stir fry them together for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Pop your shrimp in there.  Cook until most of it is starting to turn red, then throw in all your curry paste and toss the shrimp through it thoroughly. 
  4. Toss in everything else except the cornstarch and water. Cook until bubbly. Allow everything to cook together for another minute or so. 
  5. Mix your cornstarch and water together, and slowly mix it into your curry. Once it thickens, remove from the heat. 
  6. Serve on top of rice.
