Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 2 onions, sliced thickly

  • 4 tsp hot Indian curry paste

  • 340-g pkg frozen cooked or uncooked peeled shrimp

  • 2 400-mL cans coconut milk

  • 2 tbsp honey

  • 1 deli chicken

  • 3 whole roasted red peppers

  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1 cup frozen peas

  • 1 lime

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and curry paste. Stir frequently until onions soften, 5 min. Meanwhile, place shrimp in a sieve. Rinse under cold running water until any ice crystals melt. When onions are soft, stir in coconut milk and honey. Cook, stirring occasionally, 7 min.

  • Meanwhile, remove and discard skin from chicken, then pull off meat and tear or cut into bite-size chunks. Slice peppers into thick pieces. Coarsely chop cilantro. Stir shrimp, chicken, peppers and peas into coconut-milk mixture.

  • Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are hot and bright pink, 4 to 7 min. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro. Slice lime into wedges and serve alongside curry. Great with jasmine rice.

There's nothing everyday about this shrimp-and-chicken entree. Silky coconut milk gives it a fast, rich creaminess, and curry paste is the only flavouring needed.

MAKE AHEAD
