Coconut Shrimp Ravioli With Green Curry Sauce

Makes about 40 ravioli

The intense flavor of the curry sauce pairs well with the rich, smooth shrimp ravioli. This makes an elegant dinner entree and easily transforms into hors d'oeuvres for a party.

Chris Sadler devised this recipe, which won top honors at the recent Iron Chef D.C. home competition, which he hosted.

For the green curry sauce:

5 jalapeño chili peppers, stemmed and seeded

4 cloves garlic

2 stalks lemon grass (tough outer leaves removed), coarsely chopped

1 1/2 -inch piece ginger root or galangal root

1/4 cup chopped shallots

1/4 bunch cilantro, stem ends trimmed (reserve some leaves, minced, for garnish)

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
