Ingredients

  • about 450 g Shrimp
  • 4 tbsp Green Curry Paste
  • 2 cans Coconut Milk
  • 1 can Bamboo Shoots
  • 1 cup Thai Eggplant
  • 2 tbsp Fish Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Palm Sugar
  • 4 leaves Kaffir Lime Leaves
  • 1/2 cup Thai Basil Leaves
  • 4 cups Cooked Jasmine Rice

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Place a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven on the stove over medium heat (about 175°C / 175°C).
  2. 2Add the 4 tablespoons of green curry paste to the pot. Stir constantly for 1 minute, until it smells fragrant.
  3. 3Pour in the 2 cans of coconut milk and stir. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, where small bubbles appear around the edges.
  4. 4Add the about 450 g of shrimp, the 1 can of bamboo shoots (drained), and the 1 cup of Thai eggplant to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, and the eggplant is tender when poked with a fork.
  5. 5Stir in the 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, the 1 tablespoon of palm sugar, and the 4 kaffir lime leaves. Let the curry simmer gently for another 5 minutes so the flavors can combine.
  6. 6Just before you are ready to serve, stir in the 1/2 cup of Thai basil leaves until they just begin to wilt.
  7. 7Serve the green curry hot over the 4 cups of cooked jasmine rice.
