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.
Step 2
While rice cooks, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Add red onion and cook until just soft, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Stir in curry powder until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Add shrimp and cook until pink and cooked through, 4–5 minutes.
Step 5
Squeeze lime juice into the curry. Toss in chopped greens and stir until wilted, about 1 minute.
