Spicy Mango Coconut Shrimp Curry

I’m excited to share a special dish with you today that combines the sweetness of mango with the creaminess of coconut and a spicy kick of curry. This unique recipe is perfect for a cozy night in or a family gathering where you want to impress your guests with something out of the ordinary.

Ingredients:

  • 500g shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 3 tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 1 red chili, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • skillet
  • wooden spoon
  • grater
  • can opener

Start by heating some oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, sliced chili, and red bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened and fragrant. Add the red curry paste and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.

Next, add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and opaque. Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes until the flavors meld together.

Stir in the diced mango and lime juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the curry simmer for another couple of minutes to allow the mango to soften slightly.

Finally, sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro over the curry before serving. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1200g, making 4 servings with an average weight of 300g per serving. Each serving is approximately 350 calories.

One unique tip for this dish is to add a splash of coconut rum to the curry for an extra depth of flavor. It enhances the tropical notes of the mango and coconut, taking the dish to a whole new level.

I hope you enjoy making this Spicy Mango Coconut Shrimp Curry at home and feel free to customize it with your favorite ingredients or spice levels. Happy cooking!
