This recipe is out of a great cookbook. " The Americas Test Kitchen Healthy Family Cookbook"...of course I added my own touch.
1lb of shrimp ( no shells or veins )
2 tsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. rice cooking wine
marinate shrimp for up to an hour
stir fry-
3 minced scallions
3 minced garlic cloves
1 tbsp. grated ginger
5 tsp. canola oil
2 red bell peppers cut into matchsticks
12 oz. snow peas
sauce-
mix together...
2/3 cup light coconut milk
6 tbsp. chicken broth
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. salt ( I used 1/2 tsp.)
2 tsp. curry powder
1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes
now set this aside and stir fry!
Heat 2 tsp. oil and stir fry the shrimp no longer than 3 minutes. Take the shrimp out, and add the remaining oil. Now add the red bell pepper. Stir fry for 2 minutes and add the snow peas. Cook for 1-2 minutes and add scallions, garlic and ginger to the pan. Press it into the pan until you smell pure goodness...then mix it up with the veggies. Now add the shrimp back into the pan, and stir in the sauce. Simmer no longer than 5 minutes, until shrimp are fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.
Serve this over rice.
This was a hit with my husband. It was so flavorful, but healthy. The calorie count would be about 200 calories per cup. That is pretty good for curry!
