One day I wanted something spicy and creamy for lunch. I had a can of coconut milk in the refrigerator and some shrimp in the freezer. That's how I came up with an idea for Coconut Shrimp Soup
Yield: 4 servings
carrots, peeled and diced
inch ginger, peeled and minced
tablespoons curry paste (store-bought)
a few dashes of curry powder, cumin powder and red pepper flakes
salt & pepper
cup frozen peas, defrosted
cup frozen shrimp, defrosted (or use fresh shrimp)
cup thin glass or rice noodles, cooked
1. Heat the oil in the pan. Add onions and carrots and cook for a few minutes.
2. Add garlic and ginger and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
3. Add in the spices (don't forget salt!) and curry paste. Cook for a few minutes.
4. Add coconut milk, water, vinegar and peas; bring the mixture to a boil, add shrimp and cook for a few minutes until the shrimp is cooked through.
5. Add in lime juice.
6. Put some of the cooked noodles in a bowl, top with the shrimp soup and enjoy! If you have fresh cilantro, use it.
