Coconut Red Curry Shrimp

Things crazy food bloggers do:

1. scatter garnishes all over the place for “background.”

2. rush home from Crossfit to be able to make dinner and photograph it in natural light.

3. eat dinner at 5pm like senior citizens in the winter to accomplish #2.

4. buy a 1 serving wok/skillet thingy at a thrift store in California that can’t actually be used on the stove.

5. walk into the local sushi place and ask for a pair of chopsticks without even eating there and walk out.

6. make rice for a photo shoot with no intention of actually eating it. (good thing for non-paleo husbands)

7. make a damn good red curry.

Staring at the pictures in this post made me laugh at how many ridiculous things I did in order for them to appear in this post as they do. And then I had to laugh some more because I literally just got back from purchasing sticky tiles and 4 random slate pieces for new photo backgrounds from home depot an hour before writing this.

What has my life come to?

Thankfully, despite all the nonsense, this coconut red curry shrimp dish was a home run. A rich and creamy coconut sauce coats juicy shrimp and tender vegetables for an easy dinner that’s a cinch to make. No need for Thai takeout when food like this is so easy to make yourself.
