Instructions

For Curry Paste

Step 1
Pound with a mortar and pestle until paste forms. Or blend with a blender (adding a little water) until paste forms.

To Toast Shrimp Paste

Step 2
Wrap the shrimp paste loosely in foil. Place the foil over a gas stove burner and toast over low heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side, until lightly browned, dry, and crumbly.

To Cook Curry

Step 3
Heat coconut oil in a wok or large skillet. Add the Thai green curry paste and saute until aromatic, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the coconut cream and simmer 2 to 3 minutes. Add the coconut milk, fish, lime leaves, and fish sauce. Cook until fish is cooked through. Ladle into bowls. Serve with fresh herbs, lime wedges, chile, and rice.
