Ingredients
- 1 pound medium or large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 large carrots peeled and sliced into 1/2 inch chunks
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
- salt to taste
- 3 cups baby spinach leaves
- fresh basil, cilantro, or green onions for garnish
Curry Sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ½ yellow onion finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger OR 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 ounce Can coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- grated zest and juice of one lime
- cooked noodles or rice for serving optional
Instructions
- Make the sauce: Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook 5 minutes, or until softened.
- Add the ginger, turmeric, curry paste and sugar and stir until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Pour in the coconut milk and fish sauce. Bring to a simmer, then lower heat and cook 10 minutes to thicken slightly. Remove from the heat, stir in the lime zest and juice. Cover to keep warm.
- Prepare the shrimp: Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-heat. Add the carrots and stir to coat with the oil. Lower the heat, cover the pan and cook the carrots 5 minutes, until tender.
- Turn up the heat to medium-high and add the red bell pepper, shrimp, garlic, cayenne and salt to taste. Cook until the shrimp are no longer pink, 2-3 minutes per side.
- Add the spinach and curry sauce to the shrimp and stir until the spinach is wilted. Sprinkle with green onion and cilantro (or basil) and serve.
Notes
- Serve this quick, flavorful red coconut curry with hot cooked rice or rice noodles.
- To make it vegetarian, omit the shrimp and/or use diced extra-firm tofu instead.
