Dinner at Home

Shrimp Coconut Curry
A quick weeknight curry that probably would have been better if I hadn't tried to use the leftover root vegetables.

-15 shrimp, peeled
-2 packages shirataki noodles, boiled for 2 minutes and drained
-2 cups leftover roasted root vegetables
-4 scallions, chopped
-1 handful fresh basil leaves
-1 can coconut milk
-cloves garlic, minced
-1 tb thai red chili paste
-salt to taste
-juice of 1/2 lime

Sautee the garlic in a bit of olive oil. When brown, add the coconut milk and chili paste. Dissolve chili paste and add noodles and root vegetables. Simmer for 5 or 10 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until just cooked through. Add the scallions and basil. Cook for one minutes. Add the lime juice, stir and serve.
