- 2 tbsp of Thai Green Curry Powder
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp oil try sunflower oil, coconut oil, or grapeseed oil
- 1 can 14 fluid oz unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 small red bell pepper – sliced thinly
- 12 oz about 26-30 counts raw jumbo shrimp – peeled and deveined
- 1 mango – diced
- 1 tsp coconut sugar or to taste
- 1 tsp fish sauce or to taste (you can use salt instead)
- A handful of Thai basil leaves or sweet basil leaves I used a mix
- One or two squeezes of lime juice
In a small bowl, combine Thai Green Curry Powder with water and oil, and mix into a paste.
Do not shake the can of coconut milk before opening, so that the thick cream remains separate from the milky part. Spoon the thick cream out of the can (about 2/3 of the contents), add into a large frying pan/saucepan, and heat over medium heat.
Stir gently, and let the coconut milk reduce until smooth and bubbly. You will see a thin layer of oil appear on top.
Add in the green curry paste and cook the cream for about a minute. Stir as it cooks, until mixture is well combined and aromatic. Then pour in the remaining coconut milk.
Add in the red bell pepper and cook for about 2 minutes, until it begins to boil. Reduce heat, add in shrimp and mango, and let simmer until shrimp turns opaque and pink, about 3-4 minutes.
Season with fish sauce/salt and sugar. Taste and adjust any seasonings if needed. Continue to simmer for another minute.
Stir in fresh Thai basil leaves and/or sweet basil leaves, and large squeezes of lime juice. Remove from heat and serve with rice or vermicelli noodles.
