Thai Yellow Curry with Seafood Recipe
This dish is so simple to create and takes no more than 30 minutes, but it’s bursting with vivid and intense flavors. This is my absolute favorite Thai dish. Have a great weekend and happy eating!
Ingredients
- 4 scallops
- 6 tiger prawns (peeled, deveined, but leave the tails on)
- 12-15 mussels and clams
- 1 small zucchini (cut into slices)
- 2 tablespoons Thai yellow curry paste
- 1 can (5.6 oz. coconut milk)
- fish sauce (to taste)
- palm sugar to taste
- Curry leaves/ basil leaves/ kaffir lime leaves (optional but would be nice)
Instructions
- Heat up some oil in the wok and add in the curry paste. Stir it until you smell the aroma. Add in all the shellfish and zucchini to give them a quick stir. Add in the coconut milk. Cover the wok and bring it to boil or until all shells are open.
- Add fish sauce and palm sugar to taste (this dish should taste creamy, salty, and sweet). Add some curry leaves/basil leaves/kaffir lime leaves if you have them handy. If the curry is too thick, add some water. Serve hot with plain white steamed rice.
Notes
For the yellow curry paste, Rasa Malaysia recommends Maesri brand.

This was amazingly easy to make and so good. I also added some shrimp, basil and cilantro. Fresh cilantro on top at the end is perfect. I also had asparagus and eggplant instead of zucchini. I liked it so much I bought cans of yellow, red and green curry to have on hand. This is a quick and easy dinner with different proteins.
Thanks for trying my Thai Yellow Curry recipe.
I was looking for inspiration for a dinner today! I have curry paste to use and frozen mussels, I think I will use them today! Thanks for the recipe!
