Thai Coconut Shrimp Curry

This Thai coconut shrimp curry will make you think it has been simmering on the stovetop for hours. It is so packed with flavor from the curry paste to the vegetables to the shrimp. Leftovers taste even better but I doubt you will have any because it’s just that good so maybe double the recipe! Serve this Thai coconut shrimp curry alongside some white rice with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a complete dish. If you are looking to keep this low-carb and low-calorie then use quinoa or cauliflower rice.

My go-to vegetables in a coconut curry are always peppers, spinach, onions, and garlic but in this variation I also use asparagus! Asparagus cooks at the same time and temperature along with adding great texture, flavor, and nutritional benefits. It really paired nicely in this curry for an overall wholesome flavorful meal.

You may enjoy this slightly different variation to coconut shrimp curry that is milder in heat. Another curry dish you may like is my chicken curry stew which is super comforting! As always I would love to hear what you think! Please leave a comment below after trying and share with me your remakes on Instagram!

    This curry tastes better than the ones I’ve had at Thai restaurants. It was my first time ever cooking with shrimp and Heifa’s instructions are so easy to follow and my shrimp came out perfectly cooked. The flavor profile of the curry is delicious, loved the coconut milk aspect and the soy sauce offers a depth of flavor, I added a dash or ginger powder as well. I love that this also incorporates veggies. This was delicious with a side of coconut rice.
