Preparation
Directions
1. In a 5-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high. Add pre-cooked shrimp ( if using chicken, season chicken with salt and pepper. Working in two batches, cook chicken until browned, 6 to 8 minutes; transfer to a plate (chicken will cook more in step 2).
2. To pot with shrimp, add coconut milk, broth, 1/2 cup water, and curry paste; bring to a boil, and stir in rice. (if using chicken, add chicken with any juices), arranging pieces in a single layer. Cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, without stirring, until rice is almost tender, 15 minutes. ** i used microwaveable jasmine rice from superstore/loblaws...only 2 min to cook in microwave.**
3. Scatter bell peppers and green beans on top of shrimp ( or chicken mixture) cover, and cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
