This shrimp curry is simply amazing! It is packed with flavor and made with real, simple ingredients. If you are in the middle of a Whole30 you HAVE to make this! Especially if you are on week 3 or 4 and you need something to liven up your tastebuds. This shrimp curry is it! It takes a little time to make it but trust me, it’s worth it! And the leftovers might be even better.

What You Will Need
- olive oil & garlic – sauté these together in the wok to get the flavor party started.
- full-fat coconut milk – you will want to make sure the coconut milk is fully combined before adding – we love this one!
- green curry paste – we always use this one!
- chicken broth – I recommend using a high-quality chicken broth or you can even use homemade!
- ground curry powder & ground cumin – a great combo that brings so much great flavor.
- carrots, potato, mushrooms, & bamboo shoots – our favorite vegetables to use in this recipe.
- fresh basil – more wonderful flavor to the wok!
- raw shrimp – you can use fresh or frozen, but if they are frozen make sure you thaw them first.
- yellow onion – another addition to the great flavors.
- kosher salt & pepper – everything needs a little salt & pepper seasoning.
- lime juice – a little acidity to help the flavor amplify even more.
- garlic chili sauce (optional) – this is a option depending on how spicy you like things.
What Goes Well With Curry
We love serving this on jasmine rice, but if you are wanting to keep it paleo/Whole30 you can serve it over cauliflower rice or simply enjoy it by itself. Either way it will be amazing!
Storing Leftovers
Any leftovers can simply be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days! In our opinion, it is actually better the next day!
How To Make Shrimp Curry
Prep and chop your ingredients.
Prep shrimp by thawing (if they were frozen), remove the shell, and tail, if you want.
Sauté the garlic in a large wok.
Add coconut milk, chicken broth, curry paste, curry powder, and cumin.
Stir to fully combine and then add the potato, carrots, and bamboo shoots. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Add basil, shrimp, onion, & mushrooms and simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes.
Mix to fully combine and taste to make any adjustments.
Enjoy!
