Coconut Shrimp Curry

Submitted by Chef mariajane

"Regular coconut milk mixed with a little water cuts the fat but not the flavour, while frozen veggies are such a great time saver in this recipe - found this in a little flyer from our local supermarket - An excellent way to have your meal prepared ahead of time, and just take from the freezer to the stove to the table in minutes!! Easy and Delicious!!"
