Ingredients

4 cups chicken broth low sodium
1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
2 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon palm sugar
4 lime leaves
1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 shallots minced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon ginger minced
3 tablespoons Thai green curry paste
1 ½ cup arborio rice

Garnish

1 lime wedge cut
1 bunch cilantro
red chili peppers sliced

Instructions

Cook broth. In a saucepan, add the chicken broth, coconut milk, lime leaves, palm sugar, and fish sauce. Bring to a simmer and stir until combined. Simmer for 10 minutes and then remove the Kaffir leaves. Remove from heat, cover, and set aside.
Cook shrimp. In a small mixing bowl, season the shrimp with salt and pepper. In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes on each side until pink. Set aside.
Saute aromatics and green curry paste. In a deep large skillet over medium heat, add the shallots, garlic, and ginger and saute until the shallots are translucent about 2 minutes. Then add the Thai green curry paste and cook for 1 minute. Then add the arborio and toss to combine for 1 minute.
Add the broth. Add the broth 1 cup at a time stirring constantly about every 30 seconds and bring to a low simmer until all the liquid has absorbed. Repeat until all the stock has been absorbed by the rice. It should take about 2-3 minutes for each addition to be absorbed.
Serve. Serve in individual bowls and garnish with cilantro, a lime wedge, and sliced red chili peppers. Enjoy!
