This very easy to make meal really had tons of flavor. The lime, curry, and ginger each shown on their own creating a delicious sauce bath for the shrimp, mushrooms and tomatoes. The coconut milk definitely added a little something extra and the crushed red pepper flakes gave it a great spiciness. The cilantro and nuts are a great finish.
The Husband and I both loved this and will definitely be making this again.
A few notes:
- This is a meal for 2 people, however the recipe could easily be double or tripled, etc.
- I increased the crushed red pepper flakes from 1/2 tsp to a little over 1 tsp, since we love heat.
- The recipe calls for 1/2 cup of mushrooms, we increased this to 1 cup. I would highly recommend doing this.
- The recipe calls for 10 cherry tomatoes, and that's what I used. But, next time I would definitely had another 5 or so.
- The recipe calls for cashews, I used dry roasted peanuts because they were what I had on hand.
