A southern Thai style curry, thicker and more concentrated than most curries. "Panang" refers to the name of the island in northern Malaysia bordering southern Thailand. Panang Goong (shrimp) over rice will transport you to Southeast Asia in the first bite!
shrimp curry (shrimp, panang curry paste (dried red chili, lemongrass, shallot, salt, garlic, galangal, mung bean, shrimp paste, kaffir lime peel, coriander seed, cumin, pepper), coconut milk, kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce, palm sugar, sugar, peanuts), rice
Will definitely order again. Medium spice just right. YUM!
Skilled use of peanut - flavor is light and complimentary with the delicate tastes of shrimp, kaffir lime & lemongrass, not heavy or overwhelming like so many peanut sauces can be. Today's offering included zucchini, not pictured online. Shrimp were fresh, tender and firm; zucchini also very fresh and crisp, cooked lightly, perfectly. A lovely dish with beautifully layered flavors. (Spicier than my personal preference but that's just me; no deductions)
