Tips for you

Here are some more tips for making this tasty coconut shrimp curry:

• Use other vegetables: I love making this curry with red bell pepper and sugar snap peas, but you can add more or other vegetables to the recipe! I actually love to make this curry to clean the refrigerator a bit by using any leftover vegetables! Just be creative and add the vegetables you love.
• Serve with rice: This shrimp curry tastes great with Basmati rice or any other type of rice. Just make the rice first so that it is ready when the curry has cooked.
• Add more chile pepper: The recipe is mild enough for people that usually don’t eat a lot of spicy foods. So, if you want it spicier then simply add more chile pepper.

Storage tips

I would totally suggest making a few extra servings when you cook the recipe, as it is perfect for meal prepping! You can store it in:

• The refrigerator: The curry stays fresh for up to 3 days if stored in the refrigerator.
• The freezer: The curry can be stored in the freezer for 2-3 months. This is my preferred method since it lasts a lot longer and tastes as delicious when defrosted and warmed up!
