TROPICAL RED CURRY SHRIMP WITH COCONUT RICE
I was inspired to create this dish after dining Placencia, Belize at the Maya Beach Hotel (mayabeachhotel.com). This is my attempt to recreate their Sassy Shrimp Pot. Nothing beats dining there in person, but I'm happy with my attempt to copy them. The tart, sweet, salty and spicy collide in this tropical inspired shrimp dish. It's a little fusion of Caribbean and Southeast Asian. My measurements are approximate, and please adjust to your liking.

- Season the dish to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to your liking.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Coconut red rice can be served with a variety of sides, such as grilled chicken, fish, or tofu, as well as a side of vegetables.
