Cooking StepsHow to cook Spicy Curry Beef and Shrimp step by step

Step 1 Detail
Trim the front half of the shrimp heads and cut off the legs. Make a deep cut along the back of each shrimp. Heat oil in a pan and pan-fry the shrimp until golden on both sides and fragrant shrimp oil is released. Remove the shrimp and set aside. In the same pan with the shrimp oil, sauté half of the minced onion along with the smashed and minced garlic until fragrant. Season with white pepper. Add the sliced button mushrooms and sear briefly, then add the beef hot pot slices and stir-fry until cooked. The mushrooms will release some liquid. Add the curry roux and crumble in one Thai chili (omit if you don’t like spice). Stir until the curry melts, then season with a pinch of sugar, salt, and a small amount of five-spice powder. Return the shrimp to the pan, toss everything together, and add about half a bowl of water (add more if you want extra sauce for rice). Cover and simmer for a few minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste with sugar, salt, and white pepper — no other seasonings needed. Reduce the sauce until thick and glossy. Plate and garnish with chopped scallions. Done!
