🧂 Ingredientes
- 300 g Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 200 g Fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 2 tbsp Red curry paste (Thai style)
- 1.5 tbsp Fish sauce

👨🍳 Instruções
- 1
Heat the vegetable oil in a pot or wok over medium heat. Add the red curry paste and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: Frying the curry paste helps to release its aromatic oils and deepen the flavor. - 2
Pour in about half of the coconut milk and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the oil starts to separate from the coconut milk.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: This process, known as 'cracking' the coconut milk, intensifies the curry's flavor. - 3
Add the pineapple chunks and kaffir lime leaves to the pot. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: Adding pineapple early allows its sweetness to meld with the curry base. - 4
Pour in the remaining coconut milk, fish sauce, and palm sugar. Stir to combine and bring the curry to a gentle simmer.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: Adjust seasoning with fish sauce and palm sugar to achieve a balance of salty and sweet. - 5
Add the shrimp to the simmering curry. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are just cooked through. Do not overcook the shrimp.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: Shrimp cook very quickly; overcooking will make them tough. - 6
Stir in the fresh Thai basil leaves until they wilt. Remove from heat.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: Adding basil at the end preserves its fresh aroma and flavor. - 7
Serve hot, garnished with sliced red chilies. This curry is traditionally served with steamed jasmine rice.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: A squeeze of lime juice just before serving can add an extra layer of brightness.
