Tropical Flavors Meet Savory Shrimp in This Exotic Curry Recipe

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!
