This was fabulous. I don’t usually write reviews but this is definitely the exception. I added some mushrooms and artichoke heats left over from pizza the night before. Used ramen noodles instead of rice. Sauce was delicious. Would definitely make this for a dinner party next time.

I have made this a few times and just wanted to add a few of my tips. I am cooking for one person so I make the recipe as written up to adding the shrimp. I can then divide into individual portios. When I want for dinner I can take out of freezer, thaw and reheat (not in microwave) when it starts to simmer add shrimp and either turn heat off and cover and let raw shrimp cook in hot sauce or continue cooking until shrimp reach your desired doneness. I have even add frozen shell on shrimp and simmered until pink and done. This is a winner.

Brown rice cooking method of baking rice is also the best method but I prefer white rice.

Made this flavorful dish tonight. I did make a few additions that sounded tempting to me. Diced 2 sweet potatoes and sautéed after the onion was transparent. Also used part of a red and yellow pepper instead of green. Sautéed those also adding with sweet potatoes. Added ginger in with the herbs.
Tossed the shrimp with lime instead of lemon. Used a whole can of coconut milk and ditched the tomatoe paste and water. Consistency was creamy and perfect. This dish is light and flavorful! Wonderful, healthy, and colorful! Thanks for the inspiration.
