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.

This sounds amazing. I love coconut curry!
Thank you Ashley. I’ll add curry to just about anything!! 🙂
I made this for dinner tonight – super simple but so delicious. I’ve always been nervous to make curry dishes but this one seemed less intimidating. I added green beans because I had some in the fridge to use up and they went well. I think I’ll be making this a lot with different veggie variations. Hubby loved it. Thanks for posting!
This makes me so happy, Tera. I’m glad that you enjoyed the curry and I love the addition of green beans. I’m excited to try it with some fall veggies too!
This is super interesting!! I love this concept by Kroger. Is there a fee to participate in the service?
It’s free your first 3 times. After that there is a small charge that varies by region. It’s $4.95 for the Carytown Kroger though! 🙂
Made this last night. It was delicious! We loved the flavors and how easily it came together in ONE pan. Always thought curry would be harder to put together. Thanks!
I’m all about easy to make dinners. This coconut curry shrimp not only sounds delicious, but it’s beautiful as well!

One-pan recipes are the absolute best! Loving this one with all creamy goodness along with the shrimp. So pretty, too!
Hi Brittany! Love this easy and quick recipe. I also truly appreciate that you always include the nutritional values at the end of each recipe. My husband is diabetic and this serves as a very useful tool! Thank you. 🇨🇦
This recipe was very easy to make. I added string beans and mushrooms. The next time I make it I will use chicken.
It was delicious. It will be my go to dish for company.
Ahh yay!! I’m so glad you loved this dish, Kaye. 🙂 Thanks for trying it and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it!
Love it! I added some green beans that I needed to use up. I made some jasmine rice to go with – sticky rice would have been another level! Maybe some toasted coconut flakes too 🙂
Thanks so much!!
