Step 1
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tbsp of the coconut milk over medium heat until it starts to sizzle, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Add 3 tbsp panang curry paste and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, until the paste darkens slightly.
Step 3
Pour in the remaining coconut milk, 1 tbsp fish sauce, and 1 tbsp brown sugar. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer, about 3-4 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 4
Add 1 lb shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn pink and opaque, about 4-5 minutes. Do not overcook.
Step 5
Remove from heat and squeeze in the juice of 1 lime. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 6
Serve immediately over 2 cups cooked jasmine rice, garnished with 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves.
