Preparation steps

Step 1
Heat 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Slice the bell pepper into strips and add them to the pan.
Stir-fry for 5 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Transfer the bell peppers to a plate and set aside.
Step 2
In the same pan, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil.
Sauté the garlic and grated ginger for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and fragrant.
Add the shrimp and stir-fry for 3 minutes until they start turning pink.
Step 3
Season with turmeric, sweet paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 4
Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth.
Add the soy sauce.
Gently mix to coat the shrimp with the sauce.
Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5
Stir the sautéed bell peppers back into the pan to reheat.
Remove from heat and drizzle with lime juice for a fresh touch.
Arrange the shrimp and bell peppers coated in sauce on plates.
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and Thai basil.
