This dish is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some shrimp that I needed to use up, so I made this dish and it turned out great! The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the coconut curry sauce was delicious.

I didn't have any shrimp on hand, so I used chicken instead. It turned out great! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and it went really well with the coconut curry sauce.
