Ingredients

4 servings

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small yellow onion, (thinly sliced)
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions, (white and green parts, from 4 to 5 scallions)
2 cloves garlic, (minced)
2½ tablespoons Thai green curry paste
1 (14-oz) can coconut milk
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon (packed) dark or light brown sugar
2 lbs large (31/35), (extra large (26/30) or jumbo (21/25) shrimp, peeled and deveined (see note), thawed if frozen)
Juice of 1 lime, (about 2 tablespoons, plus more lime wedges for serving)
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, (Thai basil, or Italian basil (or a combination))

Steps

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 3 minutes. If the onions start to brown, reduce the heat to medium. Add the scallions, garlic, and green curry paste, and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes more.
Add the coconut milk, water, fish sauce, and sugar and bring to a gentle boil. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and sprinkle with the cilantro (or basil). Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary, and serve with jasmine rice.
