Ingredients

  • 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined, see notes
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon yellow curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon Thai chili paste, see notes
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • just under 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 1/3 cup celery, sliced
  • 2 green onions, sliced into 2-inch sized pieces
  • 1 large chili pepper, prik chi fa, sliced, add to taste
  • 3 tablespoons oil

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs and stir in the chili paste. Add in sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and evaporated milk. Mix everything well.
  • Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Fry the garlic until it’s aromatic. Add the yellow curry powder, stir for about 5 seconds to avoid burning, and move to the next step quickly.
  • Toss in the shrimp, ensuring it gets well-coated with the curry powder. Cook it until it’s halfway done.
  • Add the onions and chilies into the wok. Cook them until they start to soften, which should take about a minute.
  • Pour the egg mixture (from step 1) into the wok. Let everything cook together for 2 minutes or until the eggs are fully cooked, stirring continuously. Mix in the green onions and celery last, then take the wok off the heat. Serve immediately with rice. Enjoy!
