Ingredients
-
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup chopped white or yellow onion
1/2 cup red bell peppers, sliced thinly
1 cup sugar snap peas
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp curry powder
2 tsp white sugar (this small amount of sugar helps make this dish succesful with a balance of sweet, and mildly spicy.)
1/8 - 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (use more if you want it to be really spicy, less for more mild) sometimes I just add a few flakes and taste the sauce and go from there so I don't get it too spicy.
1 pound raw shrimp
1 cup light coconut milk from a can, (freeze in a ziplock bag the rest for another time if you wish)
1 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional if you don't have it)
salt to taste
Directions
1.Heat oil in large, nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion, red pepper,and sugar snap peas until vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes. add garlic, saute for 30 seconds more.
2.Season with cumin, coriander, and curry powder. Cook for 1 more minute. Stir in coconut milk, sugar, and crushed red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered for 2 minutes.
3.Stir in shrimp, and increase heat to medium-high. Cook and stir until shrimp is cooked through, about 4 minutes.
4.In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water. Stir into shrimp mixture, and cook until sauce has thickened, about 1 minute. Add salt to taste. Remove from heat, serve. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on individual servings.
