This easy-to-prepare grilled shrimp dish has all the flavor of a traditional curry, but is lower in fat and calories.
Ingredients
- 1 can low-fat coconut milk
- 1 stalk lemongrass
- 2 tbsp. chopped fresh ginger (from a 2-inch piece)
- 2 tbsp. green curry paste
- 3 clove garlic
- 1 tbsp. brown sugar
- 32 jumbo shrimp
- 3 small limes
- olive oil
- 1 1/3 c. Cooked basmati rice
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, puree coconut milk, lemongrass, ginger, curry paste, garlic, and brown sugar. Transfer 3/4 cup green curry sauce to a large sealable plastic bag, reserving the rest (about 1 1/4 cups). Add shrimp to bag and distribute curry sauce to coat. Let marinate, refrigerated, for 2 hours. Meanwhile, immerse 8 bamboo skewers in a shallow pan of cold water.
- Remove shrimp and discard sauce. Thread 1 lime slice and 4 shrimp onto each skewer; set aside. In a small pot over medium-low heat, simmer reserved green curry sauce, covered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, heat grill to high and grease grates with olive oil. Grill kebabs until shrimp are opaque and limes are soft and char marks form, about 2 minutes per side. Serve kebabs with rice and green curry sauce on the side for drizzling.
