Ingredients
For the Curry Shrimp:
1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
1 cup snap peas or green beans
2 cups spinach
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Cooked rice or quinoa for serving
Instructions
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the sliced bell pepper and snap peas or green beans. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.
- Mix in Curry Powder: Sprinkle the curry powder over the vegetables, stirring well to coat them evenly with the spices.
- Pour in Coconut Milk: Slowly add the coconut milk to the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Add Shrimp: Once the curry sauce is simmering, add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
- Stir in Spinach: Add the spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until just wilted.
- Season: Taste the dish and season with salt and pepper as needed to enhance the flavors.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve over cooked rice or quinoa for a hearty and complete meal.
Notes
If you like it spicy, add red pepper flakes or fresh chili peppers to the curry sauce.
You can use tofu instead of shrimp for a plant-based version.
Feel free to use other veggies like zucchini, carrots, or mushrooms to increase the nutrient content.
