I love curry! This sounds light, refreshing, and perfect for summer! I can’t wait to try this!
I made this last night and it was fabulous!
I didn’t have any curry so I substituted coriander, smoked paprika and cumin which worked very well.
Thank you so much!
I am so glad it was a hit!
I love all your recipes! Would love to know the calories though.
Added above 🙂
Made this tonight. It was a major hit! I used ghee instead of butter or olive oil and I garnished with the pico and green onion. It turned out creamy and amazing! Thank you for sharing. 🙂
So glad!!
We regularly eat shrimp curry here at our house. We use yellow peppers and a ton of spinach. I can’t wait to try some of the add in’s you suggested. We eat ours with sweet potatoes on the side.
