👨🏿🍳How to make the Coconut Curry:
- Slice all of the vegetables and pat your shrimp dry with a paper towel. Don't go crazy with this, just blot up any excess water. Heat the coconut oil in a wok or a large frying pan on high.
***IMPORTANT: Once you start cooking everything will move quickly. Do yourself a huge favor and chop the veggies first.
- Fry all of the vegetables together for 2-*3 minutes and sprinkle the curry powder on top and gently mix everything together.
- Push the vegetables to the side and add the shrimp. Cook for about 2 minutes and gently mix everything together (again).
- Quickly add the coconut milk and let simmer for 5 minutes until everything is warmed and the shrimp are just pink and tender (If you let them simmer too long they'll become rubbery).
- Serve with desired toppings and cauliflower rice, miracle noodles or veggies of your choice.
