INSTRUCTIONS

FOR SERVING
ADVANCE PREP: Have all chopped and measured. Mix the diced roasted green
chile peppers with the salsa verde (containing tomatillos). Blend the
curry, cumin and coriander in a small bowl. Thaw, remove the tail, drain
and dry the shrimp. The peas do not need to be thawed. Combine the
evaporated and coconut milk.
1. Coat a large deep skillet or wok with non-stick spray. Add the onion.
Heat pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, about 3 minutes.
2. Reduce heat to medium. Add red pepper, garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring
about 3 minutes or until onions are soft.
3. Working quickly and stirring frequently to blend and prevent burning:
add the sesame oil; jalapeno and salsa; curry powder blend. Cook, stirring,
until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Reduce heat to medium-low; add the milks. Bring to a simmer, stirring
constantly. Simmer (uncovered) for 5 minutes. Add peas and water chestnuts
and return to a simmer. Add the shrimp and cook, uncovered, stirring often,
until shrimp are pink and peas are warmed through, about 5 minutes. Season
with soy and cilantro and blend well. If necessary, reduce heat to a low
setting to keep the dish warm. NOTE: The shrimp will continue to cook and
may and toughen.
5. Re-dissolve the cornstarch and lime juice solution. Increase heat under
the wok to medium-high; when just starting to bubble (simmer) add the
cornstarch and thicken the sauce. Remove from heat as soon as the sauce is
ready.
Serve in a large shallow bowl, side by side, with hot steamed basmiti, lime
wedges and fresh cilantro leaves, if desired.
PER SERVING WITH RICE: 404 CAL, 5.7g fat (12.6% cff); 53.6% from carbs;
33.8% from protein.
REVIEW: Memorial one bowl meal that was both colorful and aromatic; not too
hot; creamy yet light. Intriguing: flavors changed slightly as we ate more.
Warming dish that would please dinner guests. Could keep it warm in a
crockpot and serve on buffet. Likely good with crab or lobster meat. HOT
VARIATION: substitute the hot curry (Madras), but start with half the
measure and add more to taste. VEGETARIAN: Try cauliflower; or a medley of
potatoes (sweet, gold, and new) especially if they were crisped (sauted or
roasted).
