Description

Embark on a culinary journey inspired by the vibrant flavors of East Indian and Asian cuisines with this delightful meal. At its heart is a mock-curry shrimp dish, a simplified take on traditional red curry, designed to deliver maximum flavor with minimal effort. Plump, juicy jumbo shrimp are steeped in a fragrant marinade of curry powder, chili powder, onion, and garlic, infusing them with a captivating warmth and depth.

These marinated gems are then simmered in a luscious, creamy curry sauce, enriched with the subtle heat of red chilis, creating a symphony of tastes that dance on the palate. Accompanying the shrimp is a generous serving of air-fried snow peas, each pod coated in a medley of spices. As they crisp to a golden hue in the air fryer, they develop a satisfying crunch, enhanced by the addition of toasted almond slices.

The almonds not only contribute to the textural complexity but also lend a subtle nutty note that complements the spiced snow peas beautifully. The dish is completed with a simple, yet elegant sauce, perfect for dipping both the snow peas and the succulent shrimp. Its creamy texture and subtle tang provide a counterpoint to the richness of the curry, creating a harmonious balance of flavors.

This recipe offers versatility, allowing you to enjoy it in various ways throughout the week. For a convenient meal preparation option, portion the red curry shrimp and air-fried snow peas together, ready to be reheated. The dipping sauce can be stored separately, either chilled or warmed slightly before serving.

Alternatively, keep the snow peas and sauce together as a refreshing cold side dish, while the red curry shrimp can be warmed separately for a complete and satisfying meal. This adaptable recipe ensures a delightful culinary experience, regardless of how you choose to enjoy it.

Instructions

    1.
    Prepare the shrimp in advance so they can marinate. Peel and devein your shrimp, if necessary, and toss them into a mixing bowl. Toss the shrimp with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, curry powder, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder. Cover and marinate the shrimp in your refrigerator for 2 hours so they can develop flavor. If you e2 80 99re in a hurry, you may skip the marinating time and continue cooking the recipe.
    2.
    Heat a pan for sauteeing over high heat on your stove. When the pan is hot, add the shrimp to the pan, and let the spices cook on one side for 30-60 seconds. Flip the shrimp over, letting them cook on high heat on the other side for another 30 seconds. If some of the spices stick to the pan while the shrimp cooks, this is okay. Reduce the heat to medium and pour the chicken broth into the pan. Stir to pick up any toasted spices from the bottom of the pan, and place a lid on.
    3.
    Heat the curry shrimp until the liquid is bubbling. Let the pan bubble with a lid on for about 10 minutes. After the shrimp tenderizes in the spiced broth, pour heavy cream and chili paste into the pan. Stir until combined, and raise the temperature so the pan can simmer without a lid. Keep an eye on your shrimp as the curry simmers and reduces to a thickened, creamy sauce.
    4.
    When your curry sauce thickens, reduce the stove heat to its lowest setting. Add butter and chopped green onion to the pan, stirring until the butter melts. Continue stirring as the butter emulsifies with the sauce, then take your pan off the stove. You can keep the curry shrimp warm by covering it with a lid and leaving the pan near the stove. Continue with the remainder of the recipe, or you can begin making the air-fried snow peas during the curry shrimp cooking time.
    5.
    Make the curry-spiced coating for the snow peas by using your hands to crush sliced almonds into pieces. You want a mix of large and small pieces, but even the largest need to be small enough to not fall off the snow peas later. On a clean plate, combine the crushed almonds with almond flour, salt, pepper, curry powder, paprika, and turmeric to complete the coating. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water, and set this aside.
    6.
    Turn on your air fryer to preheat to 350 degrees. While it e2 80 99s preheating, dredge multiple washed and dried snow peas in the egg yolk mixture. Use a fork to lift the snow peas one by one out of the egg, let excess egg yolk drip off, and transfer to the plate of crunchy coating. Use clean fingers or another utensil to toss the snow pea back and forth in the coating until it e2 80 99s about 70% coated. When all the snow peas are breaded in crunchy coating, arrange them on your air fryer cooking tray.
    7.
    Cook the snow peas in your air fryer for only about 8 minutes. Check on your snow peas to make sure your air fryer isn e2 80 99t blowing them around. If this happens, check the cooking tips described in the recipe introduction. For doneness, the snow peas will be as light as a feather and crisp. The coating should be golden brown to dark brown all over. The snow peas only need to cool for a minute or two before you can eat them as finger food.
    8.
    While the snow peas are in the air fryer, you can make a curry dipping sauce in just 60 seconds. In a heat-safe dish, stir together mayonnaise, chili sauce, lemon juice, curry powder, and onion powder. If you want to adjust the spice level of the sauce, you can reduce the chili sauce, omit it entirely, or substitute it with chili powder. If you omit the chili sauce, you may wish to add salt to the curry sauce at your discretion. Warm the sauce by microwaving it for 5-10 seconds on a high setting. Serve 6 pieces of red curry shrimp with about bc ounce snow peas and ½ tablespoon of curry sauce per person.
