Today’s Exotic Recipe: Spicy Mango Coconut Shrimp Curry

Hey there, foodies! Today I’m excited to share a new recipe that combines tropical flavors with a kick of spice. This spicy mango coconut shrimp curry is perfect for a summer evening when you’re craving something unique and delicious.

For this dish, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 500g large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 ripe mango (peeled and diced)
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 3 tbsp red curry paste
  • 3 cloves of garlic (minced)
  • 1-inch piece of ginger (grated)
  • 1 lemongrass stalk (bruised)
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • Handful of fresh basil leaves
  • Cooked jasmine rice, for serving

To bring this dish to life, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

  • large skillet
  • wooden spoon
  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board

Start by heating the skillet over medium heat and adding the red curry paste. Cook for a minute until fragrant, then add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir well and cook for another minute.

Next, pour in the coconut milk and add the bruised lemongrass stalk. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavors. Add the diced mango, shrimp, lime juice, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.

Before serving, discard the lemongrass stalk and garnish the curry with fresh basil leaves. Serve the spicy mango coconut shrimp curry hot over jasmine rice for a delicious meal.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1200g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 300g, and it’s estimated to have about 350 calories per serving.

A unique tip for this recipe is to add a splash of coconut rum for an extra layer of tropical flavor. It pairs perfectly with the mango and coconut milk in the curry.

I hope you give this spicy mango coconut shrimp curry a try. Feel free to customize it with your favorite vegetables or protein. Enjoy this exotic dish and let me know how it turns out for you!
