Shrimp and sweet potatoes may seem like an unlikely pairing but it's a classic flavor mashup in many Asian kitchens. The sweet, tender flesh of the purple-skinned potatoes soak up the coconut curry and make excellent foil for the tender shrimp.

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the vegetables

  • Peel the sweet potato. Cut into half-moon slices about ¼-inch thick.
  • Cut the celery into thin diagonal slices.
  • Peel and chop the shallots.
  • Cut the ginger into thin matchstick strips.
  • Cut the bok choy into 1-inch pieces.

2

Cook the sweet potato

In a frying pan, warm 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the sweet potatoes, season with salt and cook just until tender, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan.

3

Make the stir-fry

If the pan seems dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons oil, then add the celery, shallots and ginger. Season with salt and cook, stirring often, until the celery begins to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the curry paste and shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the coconut milk, the stir-fry sauce, and ¼ cup water and cook 2 minutes longer. Add the sweet potato and the bok choy and toss to coat. Cook until the bok choy is just wilted, 2 to 4 minutes. Season with salt.

Serve

Tear the basil leaves into coarse pieces. Transfer the stir-fry to individual bowls. Garnish with the basil leaves and cashews.
