A quick shrimp stew cooked in a tomato coconut broth with a hint of lime and cilantro. Simple enough to make for a weekday dinner yet sophisticated enough to serve to company. Serve with a little brown basmati rice to soak up the broth.
INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 lbs peeled and deviened jumbo shrimp, weight after peeled
1 tsp olive oil
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
14 oz can light coconut milk
1/2 lime, squeezed
INSTRUCTIONS
In a medium pot, heat oil on medium-low heat. Add red peppers and sauté until soft, about 4 minutes.
Add scallion whites, 1/4 cup cilantro, garlic and red pepper flakes, cook 1 minute.
Add tomatoes, coconut milk and 1/4 teaspoon salt, increase heat and bring to a boil, cover and simmer on low about 10 minutes to let the flavors blend and to thicken the sauce.
Add shrimp and cook 5 to 6 minutes, until opaque and cooked through.
Add lime juice.
To serve, divide equally among 4 bowls, about 1 1/4 cups then top with scallions and cilantro.
