Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
Coarse salt
3 tablespoons red curry paste
1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
1 pound cocktail tomatoes, such as Campari (about 12), halved
1 1/4 cups couscous (8 ounces)
2 cups frozen peas (10 ounces)
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Fresh basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high; swirl in oil. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in curry paste and cook 30 seconds. Stir in coconut milk, 1 cup water, and another 1/2 teaspoon salt. Squeeze tomatoes' juices into curry mixture, then drop in tomatoes and boil 3 minutes. Stir in couscous and peas. Scatter shrimp on top, in a single layer; return to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until shrimp are opaque and just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve, with basil scattered on top and drizzled with oil.

This coconut curry shrimp and couscous dish was a hit with my family! The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful and creamy. The couscous was a great addition and helped to soak up all of the delicious sauce.
