Tender shrimp and crisp green beans swim in a lusciously creamy coconut curry sauce brightened with aromatic paste and zesty lime. Served over fragrant jasmine rice with cilantro, this 30-minute Thai-inspired dish delivers the perfect balance of sweet richness, gentle heat, and fresh herbs. Pro tip: stir in butter at the end for extra indulgence!

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Cook Rice
1
  • In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, wash and dry produce.

  • Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Trim green beans if necessary; halve crosswise (leave any smaller green beans whole). Zest and quarter lime. Roughly chop cilantro.

Cook Veggies
3
  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and green beans; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly softened, 2-3 minutes.

Add Shrimp
4
  • Meanwhile, rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.

  • Add another large drizzle of oil to pan with veggies. Add shrimp; lightly season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are lightly browned, 1-2 minutes (they'll finish cooking in the next step).

  • Reduce heat to medium low and add green curry paste. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is fragrant, 1 minute.

Simmer Sauce
5
  • Thoroughly shake coconut milk in container before opening.

  • To pan with shrimp, add coconut milk, chili sauce, garlic powder, stock concentrate, ¼ cup water, 1 tsp sugar, and juice from half the lime (½ cup water and 2 tsp sugar for 4 servings). Stir to combine.

  • Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened and shrimp are cooked through, 2-4 minutes.

  • Remove from heat. Taste and season with salt; add another squeeze of lime juice if desired. TIP: For an extra-rich curry, stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4).

Finish & Serve
6
  • Fluff rice with a fork; stir in lime zest and half the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Divide rice between shallow bowls. Top with coconut shrimp curry and remaining cilantro. Serve with any remaining lime wedges.

The shrimp curry is a favorite. I added curry powder instead of the green curry in the kit.

The recipe didn't come in the box. The broccoli spoiled. The rice never cooks right on the stovetop.
