Who says a delicious Thai curry has to take hours to make? This Thai fusion coconut shrimp curry is my little twist on a classic! Juicy shrimp, sweet butternut squash, onion, and colorful bell pepper simmer in a rich, creamy coconut curry sauce. My little secret? A cinnamon stick and whole star anise add a warm, fragrant aroma.
I love experimenting with flavors and ingredients. The sweetness of butternut squash pairs beautifully with aromatic spices and creamy coconut curry. With Watcharee’s Thai Coconut Curry Sauce, inspired by Northern Thailand’s beloved Khao Soi, there’s no need to make curry paste from scratch. Serve with steamed jasmine rice for a comforting weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 jar Watcharee’s Thai Coconut Curry Sauce (9.8 fl oz)
- 12–15 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup butternut squash, diced into small cubes
- ½ onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small bell pepper, cut into thin strips
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1–2 whole star anise
For Serving
- Steamed Thai jasmine rice
Directions
Heat the cooking oil in a medium pot or deep skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and stir-fry for about 1 minute, until fragrant and slightly softened.
Add the bell pepper and diced butternut squash. Stir gently to combine.
Pour in Watcharee’s Thai Coconut Curry Sauce. Add the cinnamon stick and 1–2 whole star anise. Stir to coat the vegetables.
Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for approximately 5 minutes, until the squash begins to soften.
Add the shrimp and gently stir into the curry. Continue simmering for about 5 minutes, until the shrimp are opaque and the squash is tender. If the squash needs more time, simmer the vegetables longer before adding the shrimp.
Remove the cinnamon stick and star anise. Serve hot with steamed Thai jasmine rice.
