Easy Shrimp in Curry Sauce

Very easy & very delish shrimp in curry sauce.

When I made my Instant Pot Cauliflower Rice, I had a little surprise in store for today’s post: Easy Shrimp in Curry Sauce.

The flavors of this curry meld beautifully with the Instant Pot Cauliflower Rice. A match made in heaven. I was inspired by Urvashi from Two Sleeves and her recipe for Easiest Ever Low Carb High Protein Shrimp with Coconut Milk. Well, inspired by Urvashi and a great sale price on Shrimp.

Even so, one of the best ways to stretch a potential budget breaker like shrimp is to add vegetables. You know I love me some veggies, so in went mild yellow onion and strips of bell pepper. If you’re really on a tight budget, consider leaving out the shrimp and go full on vegetarian – it’s that good!

  1. Omg, this is 10 pm and you made me hungry for Thai food! Can I move next door to you? Better yet, why don’t you move next door to me? There’s actually a house up for sale on my street 😀 I promise I’m a very nice dinner guest. I always bring lots of libation.

    This recipe looks perfect. If someone is allergic to shrimp, they can sub another or chicken cubes. Very versatile sauce. Great post.

    • Thanks Cindi! Yes substitutions are always allowed and encouraged on my blog! 🙂 The sauce is like magic – craveable! I made this the other day with just the onions and peppers and liked it every bit as much as with the shrimp. 🙂

  4. This is a beautiful little bowlful Mollie!! Such a great blend of spices– and I could use the turmeric that I’ve barely touched in the cupboard! Looks like your back in the cooking groove at home! hugs!

    • Well as far as cauliflower rice, I think you’d have to like cauliflower for one! And because there are so many Indian dishes using cauliflower and curry, I was pretty sure that this flavor combo would work. But the shrimp & curry – so good!
