We've been experimenting with curry dishes this week. The other day, we made a Spicy Chicken Curry recipe using red curry powder and plenty of habanero peppers. It was so deliciously spicy that we couldn't stop eating it, and we immediately decided a Curry Shrimp would be next on the menu.

Hot and Spicy Curry Shrimp

So, today, we decided to up the heat even more and whipped up a spicy coconut curry with shrimp. We used yellow curry for this recipe and kept the habanero pepper game strong with over a tablespoon of chopped peppers. It's amazing how some peppers are not spicy at all, while others can bring tears to your eyes with just one bite. Well, the habanero peppers we used in this Spicy Coconut Curry were definitely on the hot end of the spectrum. It was like something out of a cartoon, where smoke and fire are coming out of your ears and mouth. This was one of those dishes where you'd want to run to the fridge and grab some cold milk to cool down. Well, I had a beer instead, but it was still hot!

This curry shrimp recipe is a total breeze to make, trust me! The hardest part is peeling off the shrimp shells. We paired the curry with some fluffy basmati rice and added cilantro and Serrano Peppers on top. But let me tell you, the Serrano peppers are definitely not needed! The dish is fiery enough without them.

Spicy food is my favorite food!

We lived for a couple of years in Japan, and one time, we were at an Indian restaurant with some friends. All of us wanted spicy food, so we asked the waiter for the spiciest dish on the menu, and then, since we had drank a few beers and Sake, we said, "Make it even spicier!". This was the hottest dish I had ever had in my life. It was a lamb vindaloo, which is normally very spicy anyway, but this dish was next-level hot!

Of course, we had to eat all of it, we didn't want the chef to have the last say. He kept coming out to our table checking on us. I remember when he asked if we would like additional spice; that was when he knew he had won. This dish reminded me of that experience in Japan. It was so good and will be going down as one of my top 10 spiciest recipes. My taste buds are just happy right now!

Sometimes, food makes the world a better place!

When I'm feeling down, and the world seems to be against me, I usually turn to food for comfort. I know it's not the healthiest habit, but hey, we all have our vices, right? Lately, I've been trying to avoid overindulging in food since I'm trying to lose weight. But, let's face it, we all need a little pick-me-up sometimes, and a tasty meal can certainly do the trick.

The best thing about this curry shrimp recipe is that it's both delicious and low in calories. The flavors are warm and comforting. So, whenever I'm feeling down in the dumps, I know that I can always count on this dish to put a smile back on my face. In fact, I love it so much that I've added it to my "comfort food dish list" for future use. Also, it's so spicy that it really gets my mind off of whatever I was overthinking.

Use seasoning to make a Spicy, Spicy, Spicy curry shrimp recipe!!!

The delightful combination of coconut milk and tangy lemon juice works magic by bringing out the flavors of the spices in the Habanero pepper. This recipe is a versatile one, as it offers the perfect blend of fresh summer flavors, such as tangy lemon, zesty cilantro, and fiery peppers. The shrimp cooks to perfection, and it blends seamlessly with the creamy coconut curry. The addition of Habanero pepper adds a fiery kick that elevates the shrimp curry to a whole new level. The result is a mouth-watering explosion of flavors that is bound to leave you craving for more.

This meal is not only deliciously fresh and spicy, but it's also super easy to whip up. Just start by sautéing some onions, ginger, habanero, and spices, then mix in the broccoli and shrimp.

How to make this curry shrimp.

Once the shrimp cooks, add the coconut milk. Remove from heat and add the yogurt.

Add in some freshly squeezed lemon juice, allowing its tangy and zesty notes to perfectly complement the spicy coconut curry with shrimp. Take a handful of refreshing cilantro and finely chop it. Generously sprinkling it over the dish to bring out its earthy aromas. Just a heads up - I'd recommend skipping the serrano pepper since this dish is already packed with spicy and delicious flavors from the fresh ingredients.

Serve with Basmati Rice or Cauliflower Rice if you don't want the calories.
