Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 2 frozen Trader Joe’s frozen ginger cubes
- 2 frozen Trader Joe’s frozen garlic cubes
- 22 oz. Trader Joe’s Thai style Yellow Curry Sauce (2 bottles)
Vegetables
- 16 oz. Trader Joe’s petite frozen peas
- 1 cup Trader Joe’s matchstick carrots
Protein
- 8 oz. Trader Joe’s frozen medium shrimp (cooked, deveined, and tail removed)
Carbohydrate
- 20 oz. Trader Joe’s frozen jasmine rice (cooked, for serving)
Optional Toppings
- Fresh cilantro
- Lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare Garlic and Ginger Base: Heat the ginger and garlic cubes in a large skillet (12 inches or larger) over medium/high heat until they melt into a fragrant paste, forming the aromatic foundation of the curry.
- Add Curry Sauce and Vegetables: Pour in the yellow curry sauce, then add the frozen peas and matchstick carrots. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Incorporate Shrimp: Reduce the heat to medium, add the cooked shrimp to the skillet, and stir to distribute evenly. Allow the shrimp to warm up in the curry sauce for about 3-4 minutes, ensuring they are heated through without overcooking.
- Finish and Serve: Once the dish reaches the desired serving temperature, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the curry hot over cooked jasmine rice, and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice if desired for added freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the shrimp is fully cooked before adding to prevent overcooking, as they only need warming.
- Frozen vegetables are used for convenience, but fresh peas and carrots can be substituted for a fresher texture.
- Adjust the amount of yellow curry sauce based on your preference for curry intensity and sauce consistency.
- Optional cilantro and lime juice add brightness and a fresh contrast to the rich curry.
