Delicious Coconut Curry Shrimp Recipe

Coconut Curry Shrimp

We certainly enjoyed a variety of curry and other dishes during our time in Chennai, India. This has a mild flavor and the coconut certainly compliments the shrimp. Because shrimp cooks so quickly, this is perfect dish for a weeknight meal.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter

  • Heat the butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and tender, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

  • Reduce the heat to low and add the coconut milk, honey, salt, and lime juice and bring to a gentle boil. Let the sauce thicken slightly.
