directions

Step 1

In a large saucepan, bring the coconut milk, chicken broth and curry paste to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the carrot, red pepper, onion, corn, chile, basil, lime leaves and fish sauce. Bring to a simmer, cover the pan and cook for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 2

Add the shrimp, snap peas and half of the noodles (reserve the remaining noodles for frying). Simmer, uncovered, until the shrimp are cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and discard the lime leaves and basil sprigs.

Step 3

Pour the canola oil into a large, wide saucepan fitted with a deep-fry thermometer. Heat the oil to 350ºF. Add the reserved noodles and fry them until crispy, about 20 seconds. Drain on paper towels.

Step 4

Ladle the curry into four bowls. Garnish with cilantro and peanuts and serve.
