Red Curry Shrimp
with coconut cauliflower rice / Thai mango herb salad

Active: 40 Total: 40

A sweet-spicy glaze coats the shrimp in this easy, tropical meal.
Smarts: Like most Southeast Asian-inspired vinaigrettes, the one served with the salad in this meal is very light. Toss the salad just before serving to coat all of the elements and don't worry if some vinaigrette pools in the bottom of the bowl.
