Ginger-Garlic Shrimp With Coconut Milk

Shrimp with Coconut Sauce

Fast and easy weeknight meal from New York Times.

Serves 3-4

Ingredients
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on or off
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 packed cups baby spinach
1 lime, halved
1 fresno, jalapeño or serrano chile, thinly sliced
2 scallions, white and light green parts, thinly sliced
½ packed cup cilantro leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped
Steamed rice, vermicelli noodles or naan, for serving

Preparation
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, mix together the garlic, ginger, turmeric, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper and the olive oil. Add the shrimp and mix to coat well.

Step 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add the shrimp in an even layer and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and soy sauce, stirring to combine, and turn the shrimp. Raise the heat to high and adjust it to maintain a simmer (avoid bringing to a boil), and cook until the liquid is slightly thickened and shrimp are almost cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Stir in the spinach in batches until wilted.

Step 3
Remove from the heat and squeeze in a lime half. Adjust seasoning with more lime and salt as needed. Top with the chiles, scallions and cilantro, and serve with rice, noodles or naan.
