• 12 medium shrimp (deveined, see notes)
• 15 g red curry paste (see notes)

• 1/2 large chili (see notes)
• 2 kaffir lime leaves (sliced into thin strips)

1. 1

   Heat oil in a wok or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sauté the shrimp until they’re cooked and red on both sides. Remove the shrimp from the pan and transfer them to a serving dish.

2. 2

   Into the same wok, pour 100ml (about 3.40 fl oz) of coconut milk and set it over medium heat. Allow it to boil gently while stirring, reducing the milk until you see the coconut oil beginning to separate.

3. 3

   Stir in the curry paste with the reduced coconut milk. Mix well until the paste is thoroughly combined with the milk.

4. 4

   Follow up with the remaining coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then blend in the palm sugar and fish sauce, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.

5. 5

   Add kaffir lime leaves strips and sliced chilies, give it a good stir, and turn off the heat.
