Low-Fat Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp image

I found this recipe back in 2005 on a Canadian website called Just Add Milk (which doesn't seem to exist anymore). I've skipped the sake or sherry every time and it still turns out amazing.

I'm not usually a fan of coconut milk, but I loved the way it was used in this dish. It added a rich and creamy flavor without being too heavy.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I always have a few shrimp left over from making other dishes, and this is a great way to use them up.
