Im going to use shrimp next time also. What kind of seasoning do y’all think I should use if I wanted to sear and cook them by themselves? What would go with the flavors in the curry?

Substitute galangal for the ginger (if you can find it). The curry will have a more authentic flavor.



Great suggestions. I usually use galangal and extra lemongrass as I always feel the canned pastes lacking a bit. I also add Kaffir Lime leaves along with the Thai basil and usually use coconut cream instead of coconut milk. Gives it a better consistency and flavor.

Season them simply with salt. Make the shrimp taste like shrimp first & foremost.

Curry is such a complex dish that you don't want the shrimp to compete to with the other flavors. Their natural flavor should stand out on its own.

The only thing I might do is add a bit of minced garlic to the shrimp & deglaze with a little white wine, if you sautee them.

I don't know anything about Thai style curries but I can tell you about the Indian version if you want.

I can tell you that you chose the correct brand for curry paste. Minimize the amount of coconut cream (not milk) and keep it simple with maybe some carrots and meat and you have yourself some delicious food!

Get yourself a rice maker and steam some jasmine rice....bingo!

Galangal does not bode well in curry as a bold flavor.

It’s commonly used in Thai soups

Galangal is an ingredient in all green curry. I like to make my own, but it can be time consuming if you use the pestle and mortar. I find that the canned pastes can be improved by adding a little extra lemongrass and galangal when cooking.
