Jan 1, 0001 Chatelaine 0 Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 8 minutes Makes: 3 to 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 340-g pkg large frozen shrimp , peeled
- 1 small onion
- 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) vegetable oil or butter
- 2 thin zucchini
- 2 green onions
- ½ to ¾ tsp (2 or 3 mL) curry paste , preferably Thai Red curry paste
- 6 cups (1.5 L) baby spinach
Instructions
- Following package directions, thaw shrimp. Coarsely chop onion. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan set over medium heat. Add onion and stir often until soft, about 3 min. Meanwhile, slice zucchini into thin rounds and green onions into 1-in. (2.5-cm) pieces. Add ½ tsp (2 mL) curry paste to frying pan and stir until onion is coated.
- Add shrimp, zucchini, green onions and ¼ cup (50 mL) water. Increase heat to medium-high. Stir-fry until shrimp are pink and vegetables are tender, about 4 min. Taste, and if you would like it spicier, stir in remaining ¼ tsp (1 mL) curry paste. Gradually stir in spinach. Cook until just wilted, about 1 min. Taste and add salt if needed. Terrific over basmati rice.
