Thai-Style Shrimp in Coconut Milk
This quick shrimp dish is surprisingly satisfying. Serve it over small scoops of steamed brown rice that will soak up the spicy broth.
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1-inch piece of ginger, peeled and diced
2 to 4 jalapeno chilies (to taste), stemmed and seeded
½ cup (packed) fresh cilantro leaves
Juice and zest of 1 lime
1 teaspoon salt
1 14-ounce can light, unsweetened coconut milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup white wine
2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
In a food processor, combine the garlic, ginger, chilies, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, salt, and olive oil. Process to a coarse puree.
Place wine and coconut milk in a large pot set over high heat. Stir in cilantro mixture, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high, and simmer broth for about 5 minutes. Add shrimp, cover, and cook until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about four minutes. Serve shrimp immediately. Ladle into soup bowls along with the broth.
Serves 4.
