Looking for quick, easy and delicious?
Red Curry Coconut Shrimp is a quick and easy one pot dish that’s perfect for any night of the week. One pot dishes are some of my favourites and the tastiest too!
Red Curry Coconut Shrimp hits all the right points to make it on regular rotation. Tender shrimp cook quickly and get nestled into a super easy creamy coconut curry sauce. A toss in of snow peas adds nutrients, colour, texture and flavour to make this the perfect weeknight meal.
One of the reasons I love shrimp during the week is because they thaw very quickly and this is helpful when you’ve forgotten to take something out to thaw. Simply place your frozen shrimp in a bowl and cover with cool water. If they’re not quite thawed by the time you have everything else assembled, simply drain and refill the bowl with cool water. They will thaw in only a few more minutes.
I like to serve this dish over Coconut Rice that’s fragrant, sticky and delicious. It’s a great pairing with the creamy coconut sauce and slightly crunchy snow peas. Enjoy!
