This shrimp dish is packed full of flavour with its delicious creamy coconut tomato sauce. Serve it on a bed of brown rice or quinoa for the perfect quick and easy weeknight meal! Paleo, gluten-free & dairy-free.
Lately the shrimp has been on sale, so I’ve been doing lots of experimenting with new shrimp recipes.
The recipe I’m posting today has been a top pick of mine for several years.
The thing that I love the most about this meal is that it’s SO easy.
But don’t allow the simplicity to fool you…it’s still packed full of amazing flavour!
Although you probably wouldn’t think of pairing diced tomatoes with coconut milk, believe me, it totally works. The end result is this rich, creamy and delicious sauce, which leads me to my confession…… sometimes I drink the remaining sauce out of the bowl when no one is looking.
It’s THAT good.
I love pairing this dish with some brown rice or quinoa to help absorb some of that amazing sauce.
Can you tell I just love that sauce?? It’s a great weeknight meal because it hardly takes any time at all to whip together! And you know I’m all about those quick and easy recipes ;)
This one is a keeper for sure!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
