How to Make Green Curry With Shrimp And Fish Kaeng Khiao

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat. Add 1 stalk lemongrass (bruised), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 inch ginger (minced – galangal preferred, but regular ginger works well), and 2-3 Thai green chilies (adjust to your spice preference), and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of green curry paste and stir-fry for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in 1 (13.5 ounce) can of coconut milk and bring to a simmer.
  4. Add 8 ounces of shrimp and 8 ounces of firm white fish (cut into bite-sized pieces). Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink and the fish is cooked through.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup of fish sauce, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, and 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro. Simmer for another 2 minutes.
  6. Serve hot with steamed rice and garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges.
