Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium and stir in the Thai red curry paste, coating the shrimp and vegetables evenly.

Pour in the coconut milk and mix well. Let the mixture simmer gently for 3-5 minutes.
