Ingredients List
- 2 Cloves Garlic
- 2 Stalks Lemongrass
- 1 Small Piece Ginger
- 1 Bunch Cilantro
- 1 Lime
- 1 Red Bell Pepper
- 1 Scallion
- ½ Cup Jasmine Rice
- 2 Tablespoons Red Curry Paste
- 1 13.5-Ounce Can Unsweetened Coconut Milk
- 2 Teaspoons Palm Sugar
- 10 Ounces Shrimp
Directions
Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel and finely chop the garlic and ginger. Roughly chop the cilantro. Cut the ends off of both lemongrass stalks, then peel away the fibrous outer layers until you reach the white, pliable cores. Mince one of the lemongrass stalks. Cut the remaining stalk in half, then using the back of your knife, smash the lemongrass stalk on both sides. With a pairing knife or peeler, remove the peel of the lime. Finely chop the peel to make about 2 teaspoons of zest. Cut the lime into quarters. Cut the red pepper into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the scallion, keeping the white and green parts separate.
In a small pot, combine the rice, 1 cup of water and a generous pinch of salt. Heat to a boiling on high, then cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer 12 to 14 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and uncover.
In a medium pot, heat 2 teaspoons of oil until hot. Add the garlic, ginger, minced lemongrass and white parts of the scallion. Cook 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, stirring frequently. Add the red bell pepper and season with a little salt and pepper. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened, stirring occasionally.
Add some of the red curry paste, depending on how spicy you”™d like the soup to be. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, or until toasted and fragrant, stirring frequently.
Add the coconut milk, palm sugar, lime zest, smashed lemongrass and 1 cup of water, then season with a little salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until thoroughly combined, stirring occasionally. (Be careful not to boil the soup as coconut milk may separate.)
Season the shrimp with salt and add to the soup. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, or just until the shrimp are cooked through and opaque, stirring occasionally; season with salt and pepper to taste. Turn off the heat and stir in half of the cilantro and the juice from 2 lime wedges. To plate your dish, discard the smashed lemongrass, then divide the soup and rice between 2 bowls. Garnish with the green parts of the scallions and the remaining cilantro and lime wedges. Enjoy!
