A quick and easy coconut shrimp curry dish that comes together in less than 20 minutes. Serve over rice or quinoa for a flavorful weeknight meal. This post is sponsored by Kroger. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

If you’re anything like me you’re always looking for healthy weeknight meals that taste awesome, but don’t take forever to make. I like to spend time in the kitchen (obvi, considering this blog is about 75% food), but even I can’t tolerate recipes that take longer than 30 minutes on a weeknight. Mostly because I’m typically starving come dinner time, but also because I’d much rather spend my evening going for a walk with Olive, doing a house project or relaxing with Isaac.

One Pan Shrimp Curry

For this reason I gravitate toward quick, one-pan recipes like this coconut shrimp curry! With a help of jarred red curry paste, you can easily toss together this flavorful dish in less than 20 minutes! It’s loaded with nutrient-dense veggies, the shrimp offers a good source of protein and the healthy fat from the coconut milk makes the dish extra creamy, satisfying and filling.

How to Serve This Shrimp Curry

It works great served over a whole grain like quinoa or brown rice. I actually used a blend of both. If you’re grain-free or looking for a low-carb option, cauliflower rice will work too.

Easy Weeknight Meal on Regular Rotation

We pretty much always have a can of coconut milk in the pantry and frozen shrimp in the freezer so I know this easy coconut curry shrimp dish will be happening around here on the regular. The nice part is that you can easily swap out the veggies based on what’s in season and what you have on hand. I love the bell peppers and broccoli, but I bet the curry would be amazing with butternut squash… especially as the weather gets cooler.
