Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium white onion, diced
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
½ medium jalapeno pepper, minced
1 (14 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
3 tablespoons red curry paste
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 ½ tablespoons fish sauce
1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
1 ½ tablespoons cold water
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons chopped Thai basil
1 medium lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno and cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer veggies to a bowl and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium and add coconut milk, curry paste, brown sugar, and fish sauce to the pan. Whisk together and bring to a gentle boil.
Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl; whisk to dissolve. Add to sauce and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Pat shrimp dry and add to the sauce along with the cooked veggies. Allow curry to simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are cooked through and opaque, 3 to 5 minutes. Top with Thai basil and serve with lime wedges.

Cook's Notes:

You can use frozen, thawed shrimp instead of fresh.

For more al dente vegetables, you can add them at the end if you prefer.
