This shrimp is definitely delicious, and I can't believe that it is actually light.
You can find most of the ingredients at your grocery store in the Asian section. I did have to order my Thai seasoning online though. Plus I bought organic, so that did raise the price. They have a few more kinds of Thai seasoning that cost only about $5 on Amazon though. It's definitely worth it to have these ingredients on hand! I use most of them at least once a week in some kind of an Asian dish.
Grilled Thai Shrimp with Creamy Sauce
2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off)
Preheat grill to medium high. Toss shrimp with 1/2 cup oil and Thai seasoning. Grill shrimp either on skewers or a mesh grill pan until pink and cooked through (about 2 minutes per side).
Meanwhile, heat 3 tbs. grapeseed oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, and curry paste. Cook until onion has softened, about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add coconut milk, fish sauce, and paprika. Cook an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add heavy cream, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat.
Spread sauce on the bottom of a large serving platter. Sprinkle shrimp across the sauce and garnish with green onion or parsley.
