Creating Creamy Coconut Shrimp Buffet Style is simple and can be accomplished with these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Add Coconut Milk and Spices: Pour in the coconut milk, red curry paste, fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
4. Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the sauce. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve warm in a buffet style, alongside lime wedges for an added burst of flavor.
