Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp

June 23, 2011 by Jaida 1 Comment

Shhhh! Don’t tell K that there is curry in this dish! He hates curry. At least the brown curry that is used incessantly in Japan. I don’t blame him…it looks disgusting. I never ate it, but he did on accident because he thought it was some kind of gravy. Yikes! They sure love curry over there. Almost as much as they love mayonaisse, but that’s another story for another time.

I found this recipe on my friend Sarah’s blog – A Taste of Home Cooking – and knew that I had to put in on the menu right away! I did not heed her advice, however, on not using lite coconut milk, but only because I had already bought it when she told me. Next time I will listen. It was really good, but the regular coconut milk would have made it a little creamier. I like creamy dishes. Yum. I served this over Jasmine rice, and I’m in love. I love shrimp, so now I have another good recipe to add to the rotation! Thanks again, Sarah!

    I'm glad you liked it but sad you didn't experience the full joy that full-fat coconut milk would have provided. Next time. 🙂

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
