Coconut Shrimp Curry Ingredients

The great thing about this coconut shrimp curry recipe is that you don’t need a lot of ingredients. Plus, many of the ingredients can be switched out to adjust this curry to your taste. Here is what you’ll need:

• Shrimps.
• Vegetables. This is where you can be creative. I used carrot and red bell pepper, but you can totally go wild and add the veggies you love!
• Onion. I used yellow onion for this recipe. You could also use green onion instead of yellow onion. Simply add the green onion shortly before serving as it might otherwise lose its flavor.
• Garlic and ginger. A must for any delicious curry!
• Curry paste. I recommend using yellow or red curry paste as they taste great with the shrimps and the coconut milk. You could also go for another type of curry paste if you want to.
• Coconut milk.
• Spices. You’ll need curry powder, ground turmeric and ground cumin to make this coconut shrimp curry.

How to make coconut shrimp curry

Making this shrimp curry is super easy! Simply follow these steps to prepare this delicious and warming curry:

1. Prepare the ingredients: Start by preparing the ingredients you’ll need. This entails chopping the vegetables, mincing the garlic and grating the ginger.
2. Sear shrimps: Next, preheat a pot over medium heat with some avocado oil and sear the shrimps from both sides. Make sure you don’t overcook them. Take them out of the pot and set aside.
3. Sauté veggies: Now you can take care of the remaining ingredients. First, add some more oil to the pot and add the onion, garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, then add the vegetables according to their cook time. When they start to soften, add the curry paste and sauté for one more minute.
4. Simmer: Add the coconut milk and the spices to the pot, cover it with the lid and let it simmer for 10 minutes. When the curry has simmered, add back the shrimps and serve the curry.

Serving options

There are different ways to serve this super easy coconut shrimp curry. Here are some of my favorites:

• Rice: Rice and curry just belong together! I like to use some type of white rice, but you could choose whatever kind of rice you like.
• Cauliflower rice: Cauliflower rice is an amazing low carb alternative to rice! Not only is it lower in carbohydrates, it also tastes great and is super healthy. You could also mix cauliflower rice and regular rice.
• Pasta: This might be unexpected, but this coconut shrimp curry actually goes super well with pasta. If I feel like switching things up, I sometimes love to do this! I will usually go for red lentil fusilli if I add pasta to the curry.

Storage tips

• Freezer: This coconut shrimp curry is perfect for meal prep and freezing some of it! It lasts for 2-3 months in the freezer.
• Refrigerator: You could also store any leftovers in the refrigerators. Just make sure you don’t let them sit there for more than 3 days.
