I just made one of my favorites for the first time in several months and thought since I get so many good recipes from you all, I should pay it back with one of my own. I don't think it came from CL, but it may have come from an old WW magazine as it displays points on the bottom. I like to cut down on the amt. of shrimp and add steamed cauliflower at the end. I serve it over basmati or jasmine rice.

Thai Chili with Shrimp

If chili paste with garlic is not available, use 1 minced garlic clove and 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon hot sauce.

1 (14 ounce) can light coconut milk
1 1/2 Tbls. bottled chopped ginger [I use fresh because I can't seem to find bottled ginger]
1 Tbls. chili paste with garlic
2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled
2 Tbls. all purpose flour
3 Tbls. low salt soy sauce
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup sliced green onions
2 Tbls. fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1 1/2 cups sliced fresh shiitake or oyster mushroom caps
7 tsp. chopped fresh cilantro

1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a saucepan, and bring mixture to a boil. Add shrimp; reduce heat, and simmer 3 minutes or until done. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon, and set aside.

2. Combine flour and soy sauce in a small bowl, and stir with a whisk; add to coconut mixture. Add tomatoes and next 3 ingredients; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes or until mixture is slightly thick, stirring occasionally. Stir in mushrooms, and cook 3 minutes. Return shrimp to pan, and cook until thoroughly heated. Ladle into bowls, and sprinkle with cilantro. [B]Yield: 7 servings (serving size: 1 cup chili and 1 teaspoon cilantro)

lovemybeetle,

That recipe looks wonderful! How much chili paste with garlic does it call for (if you have the real thing). I think I will try it this weekend. I just stocked up on wine that goes great with spicy Thai food...:p

Thanks for sharing!

ACK!!!!!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:

My first recipe post and I left out an ingredient!!!!!

between the ginger and the shrimp it calls for 1 Tablespoon of chili paste with garlic. Therefore, it is included in the first 3 ingredients that you put in to cook the shrimp. I'll go back to see if I can edit myself.

It is good....even if I left that out!!!!

Thanks so much for the recipe! I made it for dinner tonight and my husband had thirds! It is delicious!!:D The only change I made was to use fresh tomatoes from the garden. Excellent recipe! Thanks for sharing.

Peggy, what is the wine you are pairing with this great sounding dish?

jd,

We served it with a light, crisp Oregon Riesling. Normally, we are not big Riesling fans, but I always keep a few on hand in the wine cellar for Thai food and curries. An excellent food-wine pair IMHO!

I made this on Sunday, and it was amazing. Thanks for sharing the recipe. We ate it like a soup, but if I thickened it a bit more it would be wonderful over basmati rice as you suggested. Yumm!! LaurieC

I made this today and WOW!!! Amazing!! I am amazed because even though I have the appropriate seasonings, vinegars, oils, etc., Thai is not something that I usually attempt at home.

My dinner club did some non-CL recipes last year and it was good although there was extensive prep-work involved and other faux pas'. This was my 1st attempt at Thai at home by myself and found it to be very easy (despite all of the chopping I had to do since I am no longer dating the humanCuisinart). I served it with a Thai vermicelli/vegetable salad and took winegoddess Peggy's suggestion and had some Riesling with it.

Next time, I will serve it over rice and make the same salad but heavier on the vegetables as I won't have noodles. AAAAhhh! heaven!! Thank you Thank you lovemybeetle!!!

I made this again last night and it was so yummy!

I did add more chili paste- about 1.5 tbsp to give it a little more kick, as well as adding in some julienned red pepper.

This is so easy to whip together and if you love Thai, you will love it. It's so rich and creamy it's hard to believe it's light!
