Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup uncooked quinoa
3 cups 2-inch chunks butternut squash
Olive oil cooking spray, for the squash
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 small avocado, pitted and peeled
3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 jalapeno, optional
1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, optional
Juice of 1 lime, plus additional if needed
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/3 cup chopped red onion
1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
3 cups chopped kale leaves
Juice of 1 lime, plus additional for garnish
Garnish: chopped fresh cilantro, sliced green onions

Steps:

  • For the squash: Prepare the quinoa according to the package instructions. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the butternut squash on the baking sheet. Spray with the olive oil, then sprinkle with cumin, salt and pepper, and rub the seasonings on the pieces. Roast, turning once to ensure they are not burning, until crisp-tender with brown edges, about 20 minutes.
  • For the avocado dressing: Blend the avocado, almond milk, cilantro, jalapeno and cider vinegar, if using, lime juice, salt and pepper in a food processor. Add a tablespoon of water or a bit more lime juice to make the sauce thinner, if desired. Set aside in an airtight container.
  • For the grain bowls: Add the olive oil, garlic and onion to a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion turns brown and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high, then toss in the shrimp. Add the chili powder and smoked paprika and cook, tossing occasionally, until the shrimp is plump, the outside edges are seared and there are no more visible raw areas, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the kale to the skillet along with the lime juice. Cook, tossing occasionally, allowing the kale to wilt under the steam of the lime juice until the kale has softened yet is still crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove everything from the heat.
  • Divide the quinoa, butternut squash and shrimp and kale mix among three bowls. Toss together in the individual bowls. Top with equal amounts of the dressing. Garnish with cilantro, green onions and lime juice.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Frozen shrimp can be used in a pinch, but fresh shrimp will give your curry a better flavor.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
  • Add vegetables to your curry. This recipe calls for onions and garlic, but you can add any other vegetables that you like. Some good options include carrots, celery, peppers, and broccoli.
  • Use a good quality curry paste. The curry paste is what gives this dish its flavor, so be sure to use a good quality paste. You can find curry paste at most grocery stores.
  • Adjust the heat level to your liking. This recipe calls for a medium heat level, but you can adjust it to your liking. If you like your curry spicy, add more chili peppers. If you prefer a milder curry, omit the chili peppers or use a milder curry paste.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and squash curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and can be tailored to your liking. Whether you like your curry mild or spicy, this recipe has something for everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give shrimp and squash curry a try.
