Ingredients

  • 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
  • 4 tablespoons green curry paste (such as Thai Kitchen®)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh Thai basil
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh mint
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 (8 ounce) can sliced bamboo shoots, drained
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ½ pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1
Bring coconut milk and curry paste to a boil in a large saucepan; boil for 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, Thai basil, mint, garlic, brown sugar, pepper flakes, dried basil, curry powder, and fresh ginger. Return to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes.

Step 2
Add bamboo shoots and bell peppers; boil for 2 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer until all flavors have combined, about 12 minutes.

Step 3
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Saute until shrimp is bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 4 to 6 minutes.

Step 4
Transfer shrimp into the simmering sauce and simmer for 5 more minutes.

Cook’s Notes:

If you don't like shrimp, then use boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead. Make sure you cut it into bite-sized pieces.
