- 2Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and shallots and saute for 2 minutes, or until just starting to soften. Add the curry paste and saute for 5 minutes, or until fragrant and starting to caramelize. Add the stock, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, simmer for 5 minutes, or until reduced by half.
- 3Add the coconut cream and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until reduced slightly. Add the carrot and zucchini and cook for 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and bok choy and cook for 1 minute. Then add the fish sauce, sugar, lime juice and salt, stir and cook for a further 1 minute. Taste and adjust the seasoning with lime juice and salt, if necessary.
