Thai Pineapple Soup With Pork And Dried Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir the ginger, lemongrass, and curry paste in the heated oil for 1 minute. Slowly pour the chicken broth over the mixture, stirring continually. Stir in the fish sauce and brown sugar; simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the coconut milk and mushrooms; cook and stir until the mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp; cook until no longer translucent about 5 minutes. Stir in the lime juice; season with salt; garnish with cilantro.

Steps:

• Soak the dried shrimp in 1/2 cup of cold water for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Saute the garlic in the vegetable oil until it is light brown and set aside.
• In a large pot, bring to a boil 9 1/2 cups of water, then add the pork and fish sauce.
• Continue boiling for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the pork has cooked.
• Add the pineapple, pepper, and shrimp. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes.
• When ready to serve, stir in the scallions and float sauted garlic on top.

Steps:

• In a medium skillet or saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of the coconut milk over medium high heat, stirring often, until it starts to thicken and smell fragrant. This usually takes 3 minutes.
• Add the curry paste and cook a minute or two, pressing and stirring it in the milk, to dissolve it. Stir in remaining coconut milk, water, fish sauce, sugar, pineapple and lime juice and bring to a gentle boil. Do not cover. Let cook a couple of minutes, then add shrimp and basil. Let all the flavors simmer for a few minutes. There's lots of liquid, so serve over rice.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir curry paste until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir shrimp into paste and cook for 3 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a plate, scraping as much paste back into the skillet as possible.
• Pour coconut milk into the curry paste. Add leeks, onion, bamboo shoots, sugar, and fish sauce; bring to a boil. Add green beans, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, scallions, and jalapeno pepper and simmer until vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Add shrimp and pineapple; cook and stir until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Serve curry over cooked rice.

Steps:

• For Dipping Sauce: Mix the water, fish sauce, lime juice, basil, sugar, vinegar, and chile in a small bowl. Set aside.
• For Shrimp: Dissolve the salt in 1 quart cold water in a gallon-size zipper-lock bag. Add the shrimp, press out as much air as possible from the bag, and seal. Let stand 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and rinse the shrimp thoroughly under cold running water. Open the back of the shells with manicure scissors and devein if desired. Toss the shrimp and oil in a medium bowl to coat.
• For Gas Grill: Turn on all the burners to high, close the lid, and heat the grill until very hot, about 15 minutes. Use a grill brush to scrape the cooking grate clean. Leave the burners on high.
• Thread the shrimp and pineapple on skewers. Grill the shrimp, covered, for gas grill, turning the skewers once, until the shells are barely charred and bright pink, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Serve immediately, passing the dipping sauce and the lime wedges.
• Skewering Shrimp with Pineapple: Thread the tail of the shrimp, then a chunk of pineapple, and finally the head of the shrimp onto a skewer, so that the shrimp forms a half-circle around the pineapple.
