Tips for Recipe Success
Don't like eating poop? Always get deveined shrimp. Deveined literally means they took the poop line out of the shrimp for you. If you have seen shrimp with the "vein" still in it- it is the black line that goes up the back of the shrimp. That is quite literally the digestive system and the black you see... is poop. Always look to make sure you are purchasing deveined shrimp. You're welcome.
Coconut milk usually will divide into a solid and a liquid while in the can. It is super important to whisk the coconut milk when you put it in the pan. It's okay if it comes out in a solid and a liquid form just make sure to mix it thoroughly before going to the next step in the recipe!
SHRIMP COOKS FAST! Like really fast. For this recipe I have you cook the shrimp in a turned OFF pan after making the curried sauce. The pan will still be warm enough from simmering and thickening the coconut milk that it will cook it perfectly and allow it to not overcook and get dry.
Now that I have successfully turned you off to all of the ingredients: here's the recipe
