-
Trim the tough outer layers and woody ends from the lemongrass stalks, keeping only the tender white and light green bottoms. Coarsely chop the lemongrass.
-
Place the chopped lemongrass, minced shallots, garlic, ginger, coriander seeds, chilies, kaffir lime leaves, honey, and coconut milk into a food processor.
-
Process the mixture until it forms a smooth, vibrant green paste. Scrape down the sides as needed.
-
Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Add the shrimp to the skillet and sauté until they turn opaque and pink, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, add the lemongrass paste, lime juice, mirin, and salt. Stir well to combine.
-
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce.
-
Continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the sauce thickens slightly and the shrimp are heated through. Serve immediately.
