Coconut Curry Shrimp

Posted by Manjeri Skincare Team on

Benefits: Coconut milk hydrates the skin, while shrimp delivers protein and zinc for repair and rejuvenation. Turmeric and ginger provide anti-inflammatory benefits to support an even, radiant glow.

Skin Concern: Dry or sensitive skin

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 15 minutes | Serves: 3

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 can coconut milk (13.5 oz)
  • 1 small onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

  1. Sauté Aromatics:
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).

  2. Build the Curry Base:
    Stir in turmeric and red curry paste, then pour in the coconut milk. Mix well and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes.

  3. Cook the Shrimp:
    Add shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque (about 5 minutes). Stir occasionally to coat the shrimp evenly in the sauce.

  4. Serve:
    Spoon the curry over steamed jasmine rice or quinoa. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime for a bright, zesty finish.

Shopping Tips:

  • Shrimp: Look for fresh or frozen wild-caught shrimp for the best quality. If using frozen shrimp, thaw completely before cooking.
  • Coconut Milk: Opt for full-fat coconut milk to achieve a rich and creamy texture.
  • Curry Paste: Use high-quality red curry paste without added sugar or preservatives for a more authentic flavor.

Cooking Tips:

  • Spice Level: For a spicier curry, add 1/2 tsp of chili flakes or a diced red chili when sautéing the aromatics.
  • Extra Vegetables: Add sliced bell peppers, zucchini, or baby spinach to increase the nutritional value and add vibrant color.
  • Leftovers: Store leftover curry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop to maintain the texture.

This is a flavorful and nutrient-packed dish that’s quick to prepare and perfect for glowing, healthy skin!
