  • 26 ounces coconut milk 2 cans

Instructions

  • Peel and devein shrimp if necessary.  Cut fish filets into 1 inch wide cubes.
  • Dust fish with flour, salt, and pepper.
  • In a very hot, preheated non-stick skillet or wok, add a tablespoon of oil and then the fish in a single layer.  Cook 1-2 minutes until lightly golden, and then flip.  Cook and additional 1-2 minutes just until they interior of a piece is no longer translucent and flakes easily.  Do not overcook.  Remove fish to a plate.

  • Add a final dab of oil if needed and then the carrots and onion.  Saute until tender-crisp.  Add garlic and cook an additional minute. 
  • Add the fresh spinach and cook 1-2 minutes, combining with the other vegetables until slightly wilted.  Remove vegetables to a bowl.
  • Add the curry paste to the skillet and cook 1-2 minutes until bubbly and fragrant.  Add the coconut mixture and bring to a simmer.
  • Simmer for 1-2 minutes to slightly thicken the sauce and then stir in the vegetables.
  • Either gently fold in the fish and shrimp or serve the fish and shrimp on top of the curry and vegetable mixture.  Serve with rice if desired.
