How to Make Coconut Mango Green Curry Cocktail Sauce

  1. Combine 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, 1 cup mango puree (from about 2 ripe mangoes), 2 tablespoons green curry paste, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon lime juice, and 1-2 finely chopped serrano peppers (adjust to your spice preference) in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
  5. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and puree until completely smooth.
  6. Return the sauce to the saucepan. If desired, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the sauce and bring to a simmer to thicken. Do not over-thicken.
  7. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
  8. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the sauce to chill.
  10. Before serving, stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  11. Serve chilled with your favorite shrimp, chicken, or vegetables.
