How To MakeDiet Type: Paleo
Shopping List
- 1 pound raw shrimp, cleaned and deveined (tails on or off)
- 1 (15 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
- 1 brown onion, sliced
- 4 teaspoons curry powder (or 1 tablespoon curry paste)
- 1 tablespoon paleo fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
- lime juice, for serving
- fresh cilantro, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Place a large pan or pot over medium heat. Shake the can of coconut milk. Once hot, add 1 cup of coconut milk to the pot. Give it a stir and allow the coconut milk to cook for about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning. When it's ready, it will have reduced to become quite thick and look like it's beginning to separate at the edges (don't worry if it's not, proceed with the recipe).
- Step 2: Add the curry powder or paste to the thickened coconut milk. Stir it together with a spatula for 1 minute. Add the sliced bell pepper, onion, and ginger and cook it for 2 to 3 more minutes.
- Step 3: Add the remaining coconut milk, fish sauce, and coconut sugar. Cook for one minute. Add the raw shrimp to the mixture and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring several times. It will be ready when the shrimp is no longer translucent. Avoid overcooking to keep the shrimp tender.
- Serve: Transfer the shrimp to a plate with the thick sauce. This is great served with fluffy rice or cauliflower rice.
