I am writing this recipe article after a while. I was enjoying my holidays and the arrival of the New Year with Tushar and our close friends and family. The whole time during the last couple weeks of December, I was completely away from blogging.

We enjoyed a variety of sweets and chocolates during the holidays and still have a ton of them lying around in the house. I’ve had so much of them that now I don’t even want to look at them (weird right?).
Therefore, it’s a time to make some savory and spicy dishes like this shrimp curry to get over the holiday mood and back to the healthy eating routine.

This shrimp curry is prepared with coconut milk and has more of a touch of Indian flavors. Similar to Thai cuisine, coconut is also an integral part of cooking in the coastal region of India. That’s where I spent a few years of my life. And I really enjoy dishes prepared using fresh coconut and coconut milk. So, let’s get to this super easy yet delicious recipe.
