Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Start the rice in a separate pot with 2 cups salted water. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    While rice cooks, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Add red onion and cook until just soft, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Stir in curry powder until fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Add shrimp and cook until pink and cooked through, 4–5 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze lime juice into the curry. Toss in chopped greens and stir until wilted, about 1 minute.

  6. Step 6

    Divide rice into bowls, ladle curry and shrimp over the top. Serve hot.
