Yellow Shrimp Curry

Ingredients

• 1 potato, sliced into wedges
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 (200-gram) pack yellow curry paste
• 2 cups coconut milk
• 250 grams medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, with tails left on
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 10 basil leaves, plus more for garnish

Method 


1  In a pot, boil the potato wedges with salt. Remove the potatoes when half-cooked; set aside.


2  In a pot, heat the vegetable oil then add the curry paste. Stir continuously to keep the mixture from sticking to the pan. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes or until the paste has completely dissolved.


3  Slowly pour in the coconut milk. Add the shrimps; cook for 2 minutes. Add the bell pepper, basil leaves, and potato wedges; boil for 10 to 15 minutes.


4  Place on a serving dish and garnish with basil before serving. 


Time-saving tip: Although you can make your own curry paste at home, it’s quite tedious to make! It’s better to simply buy a pack from the grocery or deli.
