Ingredients

1 lemongrass stalk, sliced
1 shallot, roughly chopped
0.33 cup fresh cilantro leaves
0.33 cup fresh mint leaves
3 garlic cloves
1 green chile, seeded and chopped
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp kosher salt
0.5 cup coconut cream
1 lb large wild-caught shrimp, shelled and deveined
2 large yellow mangoes, sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
0.25 English cucumber, sliced into matchsticks
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp grated lime zest
2 tbsp lime juice
1 red Thai chile, sliced
0.5 tsp kosher salt
0.25 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp avocado oil
0.33 cup roughly chopped toasted cashews (optional)

Instructions

For the shrimp: In a food processor, combine the lemongrass, shallot, cilantro, mint, garlic, green chile, ginger, cumin, and salt. Pulse a few times, then add the coconut cream. Puree until a smooth paste forms, adding a splash of water if necessary.
Place the shrimp in a sealable bag, add the curry paste, and rub the mixture into the shrimp. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, while you make the salad, or up to 1 day.
For the salad: In a large bowl, mix the mangoes, bell pepper, cilantro, onion, and cucumber. Add the olive oil and lime zest and juice and toss to coat. Stir in the red chile to taste. Season with the salt and pepper.
Heat the avocado oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp with some of the marinade and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until no longer opaque.
Divide the salad among bowls and top with the sautéed shrimp. Garnish with additional cilantro leaves and cashews, if desired.
