You'll receive rave reviews when you serve this simple, intensely flavored Thai shrimp dish!

INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 pound uncooked deveined peeled medium shrimp, thawed if frozen, tail shells removed
1 cup sliced red onion
1 to 2 teaspoons green or red Thai curry paste
1 can (14.5 ounces) Muir Glen organic diced tomatoes, drained
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
1/2 cup coconut milk (not cream of coconut)
1/4 cup chopped fresh Thai basil or basil leaves

DIRECTIONS
  1. In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp and onion in oil 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in curry paste; cook 1 minute.

  2. Add tomatoes, lime juice and brown sugar. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer 1 minute. Stir in coconut milk and basil. Heat over low heat until hot.


NOTES
Round out with a cup brown rice and a mixed green salad with around 100 calories of dressing.

Make it Special! Add an authentic Thai flavor with a drizzle of "nam pla", a pungent Asian fish sauce. Look for it, along with the curry paste, at Asian grocery stores.
