If making kroueng from scratch, pound galangal, lemongrass, garlic, shallots, turmeric, and chili peppers into a fine paste using a mortar and pestle.

Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced shallots and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- 3
Add the kroueng (curry paste) to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until aromatic and the oil starts to separate.

Add the crab pieces to the wok and toss to coat them evenly with the kroueng. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the crab starts to turn red.

Pour in the water, fish sauce, and palm sugar. Add the bruised kaffir lime leaves. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the crab is fully cooked through.
