BBQ Brethren "International" Throwdown

After seeing the various dishes with red curry that came from BBQ Grail's bloggers challenge, I was craving red curry. I told Larry in a PM that I had never made any sort of Thai curry, but I was inspired by these dishes so I gave it a shot.

I bought some shrimp at the local grocery store and then found a bottle of A Taste of Thai red curry paste. There was a recipe for Shrimp with Red Curry on the bottle so I went with that.

The recipe started with a can of coconut milk and the red curry paste. I sauted the paste for a few minutes until the aroma drove me crazy and then added the coconut milk and whisked it until smooth...



Then i let it simmer for a few minutes while i grilled some shrimp. I figured that the shrimp would get a lot of flavor from the sauce so i seasoned them with a little kosher salt and fresh ground pepper...



Then I added some fish sauce, brown sugar, baby corn, bamboo shoots, and some frozen mixed veggies (zucchini, yellow squash carrots and green beans) and two of the skewers of shrimp. I wanted one skewer of shrimp for the presentation so I set it on top of the curry to reheat and put a lid on the pan.



After another 10 minutes or so it was all heated and I plated it on a bed of rice for dinner...

Thanks for the inspiration, BBQ Grail, Zydecopaws and Landarc! This dish came out fantastic!

Don't feel bad... I don't remember it either It was probably in the middle of competition season for me, which means that I didn't have time.

:laugh: Sadly, the Curry Throwdown was held between 2/26/2010 and 3/7/2010, during the winter, before comp season started.
