Quick, easy, healthy recipes: Shrimp Coconut Curry - by Alyssa Gagarin

Chef Alyssa Gagarin was inspired to make this dish from her recent travels to Thailand and Guadeloupe, where she had different curry dishes in both places!

It is an easy recipe with simple ingredients that you can keep in the pantry (coconut milk & spices) and freezer (shrimp & peas).
