Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups brown rice
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 0.5 cup coconut milk (light)
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 green onions (sliced)
- 1 bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 carrot (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the brown rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the red curry paste and cook for an additional 1 minute to release the flavors.
Add the coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar to the skillet, stirring to combine and create a rich sauce.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning once, until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the bell pepper and shredded carrot. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce.
To serve, divide the cooked rice onto four plates or meal prep containers. Top each portion with the shrimp and vegetable mixture.
Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro before serving.
