🎉✨ Dinner menu highlight: Shrimp and papaya curry (Southern yellow curry) with a spicy and satisfying flavor 🌶️🦐

Hello, my lovely friends!

In this post, I'd like to invite you to the kitchen and create a delicious, perfectly balanced Southern Thai dish.
And it's incredibly easy to make: Sour Shrimp and Papaya Curry, also known as "Yellow Curry" in the South.
Yesterday, after a stroll in the garden, I brought back some beautiful raw papayas. At first, I couldn't think of anything to make with them. But then, rummaging through the fridge, I found the rich Southern Thai curry paste I'd prepared, along with some large limes I'd picked from the garden. And that's it! An idea for a dinner menu suddenly came to mind. Plus, since our restaurant is currently a vegetarian holiday, we had some fresh shrimp left in the freezer. So, I thawed the shrimp and prepared them for this special dish.

With all the ingredients ready, your appetite ready, and your cooking power at its peak, let's take a look at the steps and ingredients for this spicy and sour shrimp and papaya curry.

🦐 ## Ingredients and Mixtures

📝## How to make

Ingredient Preparation

• Raw Papaya: Peel the raw papaya, remove the seeds, wash thoroughly, and cut into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

• Shrimp: Defrost the shrimp, peel, devein, and remove the vein. Wash thoroughly and set aside.

• Red Curry Paste: If using ready-made red curry paste, dissolve it in a little water first.

• Start making the curry paste:

• Place a pot of water in a pot and bring to a boil.

• Once the water boils, add the prepared red curry paste/yellow curry paste and stir until the curry paste is completely dissolved in the water and the curry paste comes to a boil again.

• Add vegetables and season:

• Add the prepared chopped green papaya, as it takes longer to cook than the shrimp. (If you prefer your papaya softer, add it earlier.)

• Wait until the broth is boiling and the papaya begins to soften or soften, depending on your preference.

• Season with fish sauce and palm sugar. Add gradually and taste. Adjust the seasoning to be sour, followed by spicy, salty, and slightly sweet.

• Add the shrimp:

• Once the flavors are right and the papaya begins to soften, add the fresh shrimp.

• Tip: Avoid stirring frequently and boil the shrimp just until cooked through (they will turn a beautiful orange color). This prevents them from becoming tough and keeps the meat tender and sweet.
• Once the shrimp are cooked, turn off the heat.
• Squeeze in fresh lime juice from your garden.

This final step adds a refreshing aroma.

• Serving:
• Ladle the shrimp and papaya curry into a bowl and serve with hot steamed rice and an omelet or crispy fried fish. It's guaranteed to be a hit with everyone in the family.
