This incredible smelling shrimp dish tastes like something you’d order off a restaurant menu—it is that good. I like to top my bowl with chopped green onions, fresh herbs such as mint, basil, or cilantro, and a dash of sriracha.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    12 minutes

  • Yield

    2 servings

Ingredients

½ (14.5-ounce) can coconut milk
1 tablespoon Thai green curry paste
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced

1 (12-ounce) bag frozen peeled and deveined shrimp (28-31 count)
3 cups (24 ounces) baby spinach/arugula blend
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, for serving
Sriracha (optional), for serving

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a 7-inch round baking dish, whisk together the coconut milk, green curry paste, ginger, garlic, and pink salt. Add the shrimp and submerge in the coconut milk mixture. Cover tightly with foil.

    Step 2

    Place a trivet with handles in the Instant Pot. Place the baking dish on the trivet.

    Step 4

    Divide the greens between two shallow bowls. Top with the shrimp and curry sauce. Sprinkle with the chives. Serve with sriracha, if desired.
