Ingredients

• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons peanut oil
• ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 stalk celery, finely sliced
• ¼ teaspoon hot pepper flakes, or more to taste
• 2 tablespoons green curry paste (such as Thai Kitchen®)
• 1 small red bell pepper, halved and cut into slivers

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pour 1 tablespoon peanut oil into a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, ginger, and hot pepper flakes. Stir and cook until onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Add remaining oil and green curry paste. Stir and cook about 1 more minute.

Step 2

Add celery and red bell pepper to the skillet with the onion mixture. Continue cooking and stirring until tender-crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in coconut milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced by 75%, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Add shrimp to the skillet with the curry and cook until they turn pink, about 2 minutes. Season with fish sauce and cilantro.
