Our Thai Shrimp Stew recipe will warm you up on a cold winter night. Thai cuisine is among the healthiest foods you can eat. This is due to the use of fresh ingredients and the lack of fats. Many of the spices used are also believed to have medicinal qualities. Many fresh herbs and spices like turmeric, ginger, and lemongrass possess immune-boosting and disease-fighting properties. Then, our good friend, Joyce, adds kale to make it even better for you. Trust me; you would be now if you weren't a fan of Thai food.
How to Make Thai Shrimp Stew with Kale
- First, simmer the onion slivers until they are tender and begin to brown in the coconut oil; add honey.
- Add the jalapeno, ginger, garlic, red curry paste, and turmeric, and cook for 1 minute.
- The chopped tomato is next. Continue to simmer.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a heavy simmer, then add the shrimp.
- Continue cooking for 5-10 minutes, allowing shrimp to cook and broth to reduce

- To serve, place cooked quinoa on the center of the plate, top with shrimp and kale, and add a generous amount of sauce (use a plate with a lip).
- Serve with a wedge of lime.
