How to Make Shrimp In Yellow Curry Gang Lueng Goong

  1. In a large pot or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of red curry paste and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  2. Add 1 onion, chopped, and 2 cloves of garlic, minced, and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Pour in 1 (13.5 ounce) can of coconut milk and 1 cup of chicken broth. Stir in 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder.
  4. Bring the curry to a simmer, then add 1 pound of shrimp. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped bell peppers (any color) and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro. Simmer for another 2 minutes.
