Coconut Curry Shrimp & Green Beans
Ingredients
- 2 pounds raw Shrimp
- 1 pound Green Beans, ends trimmed
- 1 (14 oz) can Light Coconut Milk
- 2 Shallots, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, diced
- 4 teaspoons Curry Powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Tapioca Starch (gluten-free if needed; cornstarch or all-purpose flour will also work)
- 3 cups cooked Brown Rice (optional)
Directions
Preheat a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add the oil and the green beans to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the green beans just start to brown and soften slightly. Add the garlic and shallots and cook for another minute.
Turn the heat down to medium, then add the coconut milk, curry powder, paprika, and tapioca starch and whisk until well-combined. Add shrimp, cover and bring to a boil. Once the mixture is boiling, take off the lid and cook for another 5-8 minutes. It is done when the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
