Shrimp Coconut Curry in a Hurry

| BY:
Shrimp Coconut Curry in a Hurry

If you’re craving a flavor-packed, protein-rich meal, but don’t have a ton of time to spend in the kitchen, this is a recipe you need to try.

This boldly flavored yet light Shrimp Coconut Curry can be on your plate – or impressing a date – in about 20 minutes (10, if you buy shrimp that’s already peeled and deveined!).

The shrimp is cooked in fragrant coconut milk with curry powder, fresh ginger and lime, and a touch of honey. Dress it up with brown rice and chopped cilantro, and serve with a wedge of lime. If you like a little bit of heat, add a pinch of crushed red pepper or a finely chopped Fresno chile.

Shrimp cooks fast, so keep an eye on your cooking temperature. For the best results, cook the shrimp with the onions and peppers over high heat for only 30 seconds. Add the coconut milk mixture to cool the pan and turn the burner to low.

Shrimp will continue to cook after you’ve removed them from heat, so turn off your burner as soon as the shrimp becomes opaque, then serve immediately, or transfer to a serving dish.

If you prefer your shrimp more well-done, leave them in the hot pan until ready to serve.

Sagi’s variation: Recipe can be made with 4 to 6 oz. skinless chicken breast. Make sure to cook chicken for a longer time (about 5 minutes or until it is not pink) before adding sauce. Multiple servings can be made and frozen in individual servings for future meals.
