  1. This recipe looks amazing! I absolutely LOVE cilantro. Do you think this could work with chicken tenders instead of shrimp?

  4. Suggestions on what to serve this over: Cauliflower “rice”!!
    Shred a typical head of cauliflower on a box grater or through a cuisinart.Chop up a medium onion, couple cloves of garlic and saute everything in either olive oil or coconut oil until cauli-rice is tender or al dente. You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers, shredded carrots, celery…just use your imagine!

  5. I made this for dinner tonight and it came out amazing! My husband who is not a fan of curry, LOVED it! I added some rice noodles to the sauce after cooking the shrimp. This dish was quick and very easy to make. It will definitely be one we make often!

  6. yum! Just made this and it is really good! I am a huge curry lover and it is cool to be able to achieve the curry flavor without using actual curry seasoning. I served it with cauliflower ‘rice’ – went really well together! Thank

  9. christin,

    Great question! I serve this over broccoli, snap peas or green beans. It’s also nice over bok choy. If you want to do something that is part carb and part protein (much better than regular pasta) you can try it over those mung bean cellophane noodles from the Asian market (at least the Asian market in Boulder is where I purchase mine).

  10. Hi, I was just wondering what you serve with this? It looks so good! And I think I will find a way to add coconut milk. Yum!
    I have been eating the “Paleo Diet” way for a while now and didn’t know what to call it.
    But I always get so stuck as to what to replace traditional carbs with(pasta and rice. I just keep feeling bored and stuck and doing root veggies..
