Low-Carb Coconut Shrimp Curry
At Ketori-La, we know that bold flavors and keto-friendly meals can go hand in hand. Our Low-Carb Coconut Shrimp Curry is a tropical getaway in a bowl—creamy coconut milk, tender shrimp, and a hint of spice. It’s the perfect dish when you’re craving something comforting and exotic while staying true to your low-carb lifestyle.
Ingredients
– 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1 can full-fat coconut milk
– 1 tablespoon curry powder
– 1 tablespoon coconut oil
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup cauliflower rice (optional)
Instructions
1. Sauté the Garlic and Shrimp
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the coconut oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and let it sauté for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Next, add your shrimp to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque.
Pro Tip: Don’t overcook the shrimp—they can go from tender to rubbery faster than you think! Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Make the Curry Base
In the same pan, sprinkle in the curry powder and stir for about 10 seconds to release the aroma. Then, pour in the coconut milk and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Let it reduce for about 3-4 minutes until it starts to thicken.
Substitution Tip: Out of coconut milk? Heavy cream will give you a similar richness, though it will change the flavor slightly. Almond milk works too, but the curry might not be as thick.
3. Add the Greens
Stir in the chopped spinach (or kale if you’re feeling adventurous) and let it wilt into the sauce. The greens add a great texture and boost the nutrition of the dish.
Alternative: Want to add even more veggies? Toss in some diced bell peppers or zucchini for extra crunch and color.
4. Return the Shrimp
Return the cooked shrimp to the pan, making sure they get fully coated in that luscious coconut curry sauce. Let them simmer together for another 2 minutes, so all the flavors meld beautifully.
Optional: For a burst of acidity, squeeze a bit of fresh lime juice over the top before serving.
5. Taste and Adjust
Now’s the time to check for seasoning. A little more salt? A dash more curry powder? You’re the chef here—make sure it tastes just right. If you like a bit of heat, add a sprinkle of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to fire things up!
6. Serve & Enjoy
Spoon your Low-Carb Coconut Shrimp Curry into a bowl and get ready to savor all the flavors of the tropics—without leaving your keto paradise. Pair with cauliflower rice or enjoy as is for a hearty, satisfying meal. Bon appétit, from your friends at Ketori-La!
