Today’s Special: Spicy Mango Coconut Shrimp Curry

Hey foodies! Today, I am sharing a recipe that’s perfect for a cozy night in or a special dinner with loved ones. The mix of tropical mango, creamy coconut, and succulent shrimp creates a flavor explosion that will transport you to a beachside paradise. Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients:

  • 500g medium shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 ripe mango (diced)
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 3 tbsp curry paste
  • 2 stalks lemongrass (smashed)
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 4 fresh lime leaves
  • Handful of cilantro (chopped)
  • Cooked rice, to serve

Kitchen Tools:

  • saucepan
  • wooden spoon
  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board

I start by heating a saucepan over medium heat and adding the curry paste. I let it cook for a minute until fragrant before pouring in the coconut milk. I then add the lemongrass, lime leaves, and fish sauce, allowing the flavors to meld together for about 5 minutes.

Next, I gently stir in the diced mango and shrimp, letting them simmer in the luscious curry sauce until the shrimp turns pink and cooked through. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Once everything is cooked to perfection, I sprinkle the dish with fresh cilantro for a burst of herbal freshness. I like to serve this spicy mango coconut shrimp curry over a bed of fluffy rice, allowing the creamy sauce to soak into every grain.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1200g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 300g, with an estimated calorie count of 350 per serving.

My special tip for this dish is to add a splash of lime juice right before serving to enhance the citrusy notes and brighten up the flavors even more. It’s a simple but effective trick that takes this curry to the next level!

Give this recipe a try and make it your own by adjusting the spiciness level or adding your favorite veggies. Enjoy this taste of the tropics in the comfort of your own home. Happy cooking!
