Shrimp and Snow Pea Curry


This is a delicious and SUPER FAST meal, perfect for a busy weeknight. Because it's basically a stir fry, and you use cooked shrimp, it comes together in less than 15 minutes, even including chopping! So if you're serving with rice or noodles, you'll want to get those started before you start making the curry.

I love the contrast of colors and textures in this dish. The spongy mushrooms and shrimp soak up the delicious coconutty curry sauce, and the peas provide great color AND snap. (Hence their name!)

Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, mushrooms, curry powder


and cook, stirring, until vegetables are soft and curry is fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Add peas and cook and stir for 2-3 minutes. Stir in coconut milk.


Bring to a boil, add the shrimp and cook until the shrimp have warmed through, about 1-2 minutes.


That's all there is to it!
