Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp

Admittedly, that may sound a little creepy now that I think about it. No, I’m not actually coming over and forcing you to make or eat this Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp bowl. Personally, I’d absolutely love it if you came over and brought me a delicious curry bowl! But that’s neither here nor there.

What I actually mean is that I think that you, like me, are incredibly busy and might come home from work tonight RAVENOUS and in need of some comfort food that’s healthy and sups easy to make STAT. Just know that I understand, and so does this Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp. It’s HERE for YOU.

Now let’s talk about this curry sauce! I am in no way an authentic Thai food expert cook. What I CAN offer, however, is that my busy girl approach to it is in fact a random experiment of flavors and spices gone INCREDIBLY RIGHT. Sweet, savory, spicy, warm, delicious.

This Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp recipe is SO easy to make!

To make this curry paste, I used this yellow curry powder, turmeric, and this lite coconut milk. Just mix it together, then cook the shrimp in it! Easy peasy.

Also, if you’re curry obsessed (like I am), be sure to check out the Beef Curry Rice Burger Bowl recipe. It’s one of my faves!
