Coconut curry noodles with shrimp
Savor the cozy richness of South Indian coconut curry in this quick 30-minute noodle bowl with shrimp, enhanced by aromatic spices, tomatoes, and optional mustard seeds and curry leaves for extra depth.
This dish brings the cozy richness of a South Indian coconut curry to a weeknight noodle bowl. Noodles are tossed in a quick sauce of coconut milk, garlic, ginger and warming spices, then brightened with cilantro. Shrimp cooks directly in the sauce, absorbing the fragrant flavors, though the dish is just as satisfying with tofu or vegetables. Optional mustard seeds and curry leaves add extra depth and crackle, but the recipe is designed to be flexible, leaning on pantry staples. With a luxurious, layered sauce, this filling, 30-minute meal feels like a small miracle.
