How to Make Low Fat Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp

  1. In a medium bowl, gently toss shrimp with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook (at least 15 minutes).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut milk, chicken broth, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and red curry paste. Set aside.
  4. Lightly spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray and preheat over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
  5. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot skillet and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add shrimp to the skillet and stir-fry until they turn bright pink, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a plate.
  7. Add sliced bell pepper and onion to the skillet and sauté until onions begin to soften and peppers brighten, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Return the shrimp to the skillet.
  9. Pour the prepared coconut curry sauce over the shrimp and vegetables. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  10. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry, stirring constantly until the sauce has thickened, about 60 seconds.
  11. Reduce heat to low, taste, and adjust seasonings as needed (add more lime juice for acidity, brown sugar for sweetness, or fish sauce for saltiness).
  12. Remove from heat and serve immediately over cooked rice.
