Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp
Need If you have canolan oil, shrimp, basil, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the light coconut milk you could follow this main course with the Lemon Coconut Milk Scones (with Blackberry Chia Jam) as a dessert. It is a pretty expensive recipe for fans of Indian food. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes approximately 19 minutes.
Instructions
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add onion and curry paste to pan, and saut 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Stir in sugar; saut 15 seconds.
Add shrimp; saut 3 minutes or until shrimp are done, stirring frequently. Stir in coconut milk and fish sauce; cook 30 seconds or until thoroughly heated.
Remove from heat; stir in green onions and basil.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc
Shrimp works really well with Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The Chehalem 3 Vineyard Pinot Gris with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 26 dollars per bottle.

A blend of three great vineyards, this vivid grape crafts a food-friendly wine, bright and pure. Gray it isn't. The knife-edged acid, with pear, lemon sorbet, spice and jasmine makes your mouth water and your hands shake.
