Ingredients:

  • 300g shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, grated

To start, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, ginger, and red chili, and sauté until fragrant. Stir in curry powder and cook for another minute.

Add bell peppers and shrimp to the skillet, cooking until the shrimp turns pink and opaque. Pour in coconut milk, season with salt and pepper, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

While the curry simmers, cook your favorite pasta according to package instructions. Once the pasta is cooked al dente, drain it and add it to the skillet with the coconut curry shrimp mixture. Stir well to combine.

Finally, garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. This Coconut Curry Shrimp Pasta is best enjoyed hot, with a squeeze of lime juice on top for an extra burst of freshness.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1200g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 300g, with an estimated calorie count of 400 per serving.

For a unique twist, try adding a handful of pineapple chunks to the curry for a sweet and tangy kick that complements the savory flavors perfectly.
