Steps

Step 1

Mix your curry paste, almond butter, and cumin in a small bowl. After that is mixed, heat up 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet/wok on medium heat! Once the oil is heated, add in your curry mixture and saute for a minute or two.

Step 2

Next, pour in the coconut milk, fish sauce, coconut aminos, and sea salt, and whisk this up until well incorporated. Season your protein of choice with salt and pepper, and add it in to the mixture.

Step 3

After adding the protein first into the coconut mixture, it’s time to add the veggies! Then, let it simmer and cover the pan until the protein is cooked through and the veggies are tender. Depending on the protein option you choose, this will take about 5-7 minutes. You’ll want to stir occasionally during that time as well. The shrimp and tofu might need less time as to not overcook it!

Step 4

Ladel your curry mixture over bowls that you have prepared with spaghetti squash, cauliflower rice, or zucchini noodles.

Now, it’s time to garnish!! I love to use basil and cilantro, and then I squeeze lime into it as well. If you want yours spicier, be sure to drizzle your favorite hot sauce!
