Chef tips
To deepen the curry flavor, try toasting the curry powder and spices in hot oil for about a minute before adding the coconut milk; it releases an incredible, deep aroma. For a kosher and family-friendly version, swap the shrimp for white fish cubes or tofu. Serve with white rice or quinoa and fresh cilantro to gently balance the heat.
