Notes
You can certainly use frozen organic broccoli florets for this dish. I try to keep a bag on hand in my freezer and simply give the florets a quick steam as the curry is on it’s final simmer.
You may also substitute about 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil for the dried. If so, add it to the pan at the very end.
I always try to use wild-caught shrimp when I can. I cut mine in half before cooking because my kids LOVE the shrimp and this way there are more shrimp per bite:-)
I always double this recipe for a great leftover meal the next day.

August 7, 2013 at 1:32 amMade this for dinner tonight… it was fantastic! I make a lot of different kinds of curries, some from recipes and some just made up. This was very tasty and flavorful. My kids gobbled it up (ok, the one who doesn’t like shrimp ate most of hers!). Super easy and quick to make as well.
