🥘 Ingredients
Large raw shrimp, I used 21-25 count, but feel free to use jumbo-sized shrimp
Coconut oil, used for flavor
Full-fat Coconut milk, I buy this in cans and it is unsweetened.
Green bell peppers, added for sweetness
Jalapeno pepper, added for heat
Onion, added for flavor
Garlic cloves, fresh garlic is best, but you can also buy jarred minced garlic.
Fresh ginger
Tomatoes
Curry powder, this is a yellow powder.
Hot sauce, I like to use chili garlic sauce
Golden monkfruit, this is a sugar free version of brown sugar.
Salt and black pepper
🔪 Instructions
- In a large hot skillet over medium-high heat, add the coconut oil and allow it to melt. Add the bell peppers, jalapeno, onion, garlic, ginger, and tomatoes to the oil and saute for 5 minutes, until vegetables have begun to soften. Stir in the curry powder, hot sauce (if using), and black pepper.
- Add the shrimp to the vegetable mixture and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often to cook shrimp on all sides. Remove the shrimp to a small bowl and set aside.
- Add the chicken broth and coconut milk to the vegetables and bring to a simmer. Reduce to medium heat and simmer for 15 minutes, until stock begins to reduce.
- Return the shrimp to the vegetable mixture and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Simmer for 5 minutes, until shrimp are cooked through.
