Coconut Shrimp Stew – succulent shrimp dish with big bold bright flavors to excite your taste buds. Aromatic, flavor; like a party in your mouth!

Coconut Shrimp Stew

Does big, bold flavor mean you have to labor all day in the kitchen? Not really! With this succulent  coconut shrimp you seriously don’t have too. You know what? it’s   aromatic, with an explosion of flavor and warmth.

Coconut Curry Stew

I always have a starch of shrimp in the refrigerator ready for those busy nights when I need to whip up something really fast. I am sure you do too.

 

This coconut milk shrimp stew  dish is straightforward and quick. It is the perfect main course to make any night of the week and if you are like me with a busy lifestyle you certainly need this.

Coconut Shrimp soup

I love coconut milk because it can take any meal from bland boring to exciting and flavorful. Here, I added tomatoes, onions, garlic, curry and to spice it up included  a touch or cayenne without making it too hot.

Serve over a bed of rice or vegetable s and dinner is covered.

Enjoy!

    This recipe is delicious! I’ve made it for my myself first to test it out. I have a question though: Could I cook rice in it to turn it into a stew?

      I don’t see why not . You will have to make some adjustments with the liquid, depending on how you like your stew.

    Love this dish! I prepared it for my roommates and I and they fell in love too! I also made your easy version of Jollof rice in the past and it came out really good! Thanks for putting amazing afro-centric dishes on here! Also, where does this dish originate from?

      It’s just a fusion dish. Not attributed to any region. Thank you so much Jeanette!!! Always warms my heart when I have someone from Camer. comment.

      Maria, I used chicken broth – any vegetable or seafood broth will do just fine. Let me know how it works out.
