Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 2 Jalapeno peppers chopped. Use Thai peppers or something hotter for more heat.
- 1 small onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh chopped ginger chopped
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste or more to desired taste
- 12 ounces coconut milk 1 can
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup lentils rinsed
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled and deveined
- Juice from fresh limes + lime wedges for serving
- Chopped cilantro or parsley for serving
- 2 cups Cooked rice for serving I used coconut-lime rice! Or use noodles.
FOR GARNISH: Chopped red peppers, spicy chili flakes, fresh chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Heat a large pan or wok to medium heat and add 1 teaspoon oil.
- Add the chopped jalapenos, onion and ginger. Cook them down about 5 minutes, until softened.
- Next, add in the garlic and cook another minute, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the curry powder and paprika. Give it a stir.
- Stir in the red curry paste and cook it for a minute.
- Add the coconut milk and stir. Bring to a quick boil and reduce the heat.
- Stir in the lentils. Simmer for 15 minutes to soften the lentils.
- Add the shrimp and tuck them into the sauce. Simmer another 5 minutes to let the shrimp cook through and for the flavors to develop.
- Serve the red curry over prepared white rice or noodles, then squeeze a bit of fresh lime juice over the top. Garnish and enjoy.
Notes
- Heat Factor: Mild-Medium. Red curry isn’t meant to be overly hot and spicy, though you can easily spice it up with hotter peppers and a hotter red curry paste.
