Instructions
Step 1
In a large wok or saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, bell peppers, carrots, and garlic, and stir-fry until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stirring, add the fish sauce and sugar, then the coconut milk and bring to a boil. Simmer until thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until pink and just cooked through, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Remove from the heat and stir in the basil and cilantro.
Step 3
Serve over jasmine rice, garnished with cilantro sprigs.
Step 4
Thai Red Curry Paste:
In a skillet, dry roast the coriander and peppercorns over low heat until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove and let cool. Grind in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
Step 5
Return the pan to medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, until starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Step 6
Drain the chiles, reserving the liquid, and roughly chop.
Step 7
In a blender or food processor, combine all the ingredients with about 1/4 cup of the reserved soaking liquid. Process to make a smooth paste, scraping down the sides several times and adding more liquid through the top 1 tablespoon at a time with the motor running.
Step 8
Transfer to an airtight container and keep refrigerated until ready to use. Paste will keep refrigerated for up to 1 month.
