Jamaican Curry Shrimp with Crispy Kale

Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp Jamaican curry powder
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)
  • 2 cups chopped kale, stems removed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the Jamaican curry powder to the skillet, stirring well to coat the onions, garlic, and ginger. Let it cook for about 2 minutes to release the flavors.
  4. Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the chopped bell pepper and the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste.
  5. While the shrimp is cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, lay out the chopped kale and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Toss to coat and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. Bake the kale in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and slightly browned, stirring halfway through.
  7. Serve the Jamaican curry shrimp over a bed of cooked rice, topped with the crispy kale. Enjoy!

This recipe not only delivers on taste but also adds a beautiful pop of color to your dinner plate. The crispy kale complements the creamy, spicy shrimp wonderfully, making it a well-rounded dinner choice. Happy cooking!
