Keto Burmese Shrimp Curry with Zucchini Noodles

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Shrimp
• 4 medium Zucchini
• 2 tbsp Coconut oil
• 1 medium Onion
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 inch Ginger
• 1 tsp Turmeric powder
• 0.5 tsp Chili powder
• 2 tbsp Fish sauce
• 1 can Coconut milk
• 1 tbsp Lime juice
• 2 tbsp Cilantro

Instructions

1. 1Prepare the vegetables: Use a spiralizer to transform the 4 medium zucchini into noodles. Finely chop the 1 medium onion into 1/4-inch pieces. Mince the 4 cloves of garlic and grate the 1 inch of ginger.
2. 2Heat the 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large (e.g., 5-quart / 4.7-liter) heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat (approximately 300-325°F / 150-160°C). Add the finely chopped 1 medium onion and sauté for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion pieces are translucent and softened. Stir in the minced 4 cloves of garlic and grated 1 inch of ginger, cooking for 1 minute more until fragrant.
3. 3Add the 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder and 0.5 teaspoon of chili powder to the pot, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until aromatic. Immediately add the 1.5 lbs of shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, reaching an internal temperature of 120°F (49°C).
4. 4Pour in the 2 tablespoons of fish sauce and the 1 can of coconut milk. Increase the heat to medium-high (approximately 350°F / 175°C) and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low (approximately 200-225°F / 95-107°C) and continue to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has slightly thickened.
5. 5Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the 1 tablespoon of lime juice and the 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro. Serve the curry immediately, spooning it hot over the prepared zucchini noodles.
