Chef’s Note: 

The color and taste of Coconut Curry Shrimp can vary depending on the type of curry used. My personal favorites are Bahola’s Indian Curry and Beta-Pak, both of which can be found at most Caribbean grocery stores or purchased through my Amazon Storefront link.

Since shrimp cooks very quickly, it should not be left on the heat for more than five minutes to maintain its perfect texture and flavor.
