  • SPRINKLE the Shrimp with Salt, Pepper & 1 tablespoon of Lime Juice.

  • COOK & STIR for 2-3 minutes or until Shrimp turn pink.
  • REMOVE with slotted spoon & set aside.
  • ADD the Mushrooms, Chicken Broth, Coconut Milk, Curry Powder, Red Pepper Flakes & remaining Lime Juice to the skillet.
  • Bring to a BOIL.
  • REDUCE heat; SIMMER, uncovered for 8-10 minutes or until Mushrooms are tender & sauce is slightly reduced, stirring occasionally.
  • ADD Shrimp; HEAT through.
  •  GARNISH with Cashews & Cilantro.


    MAKES:  3-4 Servings

    * If you have it, I recommend minced Fresh Gingerroot to replace the Ground Ginger.

    ** I use Sesame Oil, because it's always in my pantry, but you can use Olive Oil and achieve the same results!

    *** You can replace with Coconut Milk, I bought the Vanilla Coconut Milk for a sweeter option for the family to drink after using this recipe.
