Coconut Curry Shrimp is a popular dish in Thailand and Southeast Asia. It is a flavorful and aromatic dish that blends the sweet shrimp flavor with spices that invigorate the senses. The use of coriander, turmeric, and red pepper flakes add an earthy flavor that balances well with the sweetness of the shrimp and coconut milk. Basmati rice is a traditional side dish in this recipe that pairs well with the curry. This dish is an excellent option for a cozy dinner with friends and family. The dish is easy and quick to prepare, making it perfect for busy weeknights.

Instructions

5.Serve the curry over the basmati rice and garnish with toasted almonds and chopped cilantro.
