Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Whisk coconut milk, curry paste, fish sauce, and sugar until smooth and no paste lumps remain.
Step 3
Fold shrimp into curry sauce. Divide between two banana leaf squares (or lay on parchment).
Step 4
Fold banana leaf edges to seal, or fold parchment into an open packet. Place on a baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake for 12–14 minutes until shrimp are opaque and sauce is fragrant and slightly thickened.
Step 6
Carefully open packets (steam will escape). Garnish with sliced chilies and cilantro. Serve hot.
