No need to order out anymore - Here's A Healthy, Delicious Version of Thai Shrimp Curry! 180 calories per serving in MY recipe compared to 400+ calories in the restaurant version!


Thai is my favorite cuisine because of its rich flavors and aromas! Thai curries can be quite heavy and high calorie, mainly from the heavy coconut milk.
When I crave Thai curry, I make it at home. It saves me on calories AND money! 

1 cup of Thai shrimp curry is usually 400+ calories but my skinny version is  roughly less than 200 calories per serving!

My secret is keeping it light with Trader Joe's organic light coconut milk + non-fat sour cream 😉


Thai Shrimp Curry Recipe

-In a hot non-stick pan add in 1 teaspoon of olive oil
- Add in roughly 20 pieces of medium sized shrimp (cleaned and deveined, I leave the tails on)
-Cook shrimp until they are all opaque
-Remove from pan and put into a side bowl for later use
-In that same pan, add in 1 large diced onion and saute onions until light brown
-Add in 6 cloves of minced garlic
-Add in 1 tablespoon of fresh grated ginger
-Add in 2 teaspoons cumin
-Add in 2 teaspoons coriander
-Add in 1 tablespoon of curry powder
-Add in 1 teaspoon of minced curry leaves (dried or fresh)
-Add in 1 bag of frozen fresh vegetables (with carrots, broccoli, etc.) (or chop up some fresh veggies!)
-MIX
-Add in 1 can of Trader Joe's light coconut milk (its the only "light version" that I really like!)
-Add in 1 tablespoon of non-fat sour cream
-Add in 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter
-Add in 1 teaspoon of sugar to cut the spice
-MIX
-Add in salt and pepper to taste
-Bring to a boil  and then simmer for 7-10 minutes
-Add back the shrimp and simmer for additional 8 minutes
-(Optional for some spice): Add in red chili flakes
-(Optional for garnish): Sprinkle with some fresh cilantro

Enjoy the same amazing taste with less calories!
