Coconut Red Curry Shrimp

Hello again!

A lot has been going on the past few weeks. We’ve had our fair share of ups and downs. One positive thing that happened is we sold our first flip property.

I’ve also been working lately on upgrading the look and feel of The Dainty Green Apron blog. Let me tell you, it’s quite a bit of work to make sure my old recipes have the new vibe. I’m also working on updating the photos taken on each food picture.

The other thing on my to-do list is working on my short story for the new Night Bazaar: London anthology. I’m on a bit of a time crunch to complete that story, but I think that’s a good thing. It gives me a kick in the butt that I need to stay focused and complete my story.

Anywho, I’m looking forward to the springtime. I can’t wait for it, actually. I’m over the cold weather this winter. I’m antsy for grilling weather and healthier recipes. Woop woop!

This recipe is a healthy Indian dish that’s incredibly easy to make. I bought the red curry paste from Wegman’s, but you can find it in any supermarket with an international aisle. Some supermarkets have better selections than others.

This dish can be served over a rice of your preference.

Get ready for your tastebuds to dance!
