Spring is finally in the air! Now we can say hi to lighter dishes with spring vegetables! Today I’m going to divvy up an exceedingly quick and easy, one of those curries!
Coconut Green Curry Shrimp!
Now this exotic curry got a kick, as Mr. Q. and I like adding a little bit of Chili sauce to it. However, my little girl thinks it is a little bit too spicy for her, so I add some cream to her curry!
If you love spicy food and have children another suggestion is to add crushed chilli or sauce over your curry at the table to enjoy the kick.
Let’s start from rice, I cook basmati, because I think it goes well with curries, but feel free to use whatever type of rice you have in your pantry, just add a teaspoon coconut oil and cook according To Package directions.
Here is how you cook this curry.
