Mango Shrimp Curry with Spinach Rice Bowl

This is the richer option of the set: a cozy, glossy stove-top curry with tender shrimp, sweet mango, spinach, and rice. It brings a different ethnic direction, feels special without going over an hour, and uses seasonal citrus and mango to brighten the sauce. Luxurious texture, vivid color, and excellent leftover potential if you scale it up.

Ingredients

  • Waterfront Bistro Raw Shrimp Peeled And Deveined Tail Off 41-50 ct - 1 lb 1 lb $10.99
  • Large Mango 1, peeled and diced $1.50
  • Signature SELECT/FARMS Spinach - 8 Oz 4 oz $2.49
  • Yellow Onion 1/2 lb, diced $1.12
  • Ginger Root 1 tablespoon, grated $1.07
  • Wonderful Seedless Lemons Prepacked Bag - 1 Lb 1/2 lemon, juiced $3.99
  • Garlic 3 cloves, minced
  • Jasmine rice 3/4 cup dry
  • Coconut milk 1 can, about 13.5 oz
  • Red curry paste 2 tablespoons
  • Neutral oil 1 tablespoon
  • Fish sauce or soy sauce 2 teaspoons
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Cilantro a small handful for garnish, optional

Instructions

  1. Cook 3/4 cup jasmine rice according to package directions, using about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups water. Keep covered and warm.
  2. Pat the 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp dry and season lightly with kosher salt and black pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a medium skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 lb diced yellow onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softened.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon grated ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves to the onion. Stir for 30 seconds, then add 2 tablespoons red curry paste and cook for 1 minute to bloom the spices.
  5. Pour in 1 can coconut milk and stir until smooth. Simmer gently for 5 minutes so the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Add the 1 diced mango and 2 teaspoons fish sauce or soy sauce. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, lightly breaking up a few pieces of mango with a spoon so the sauce becomes glossy and fruity.
  7. Add the 1 lb shrimp to the curry sauce and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until just opaque and curled.
  8. Fold in 4 oz spinach and cook for 1 minute until wilted. Finish with juice from 1/2 lemon and taste for salt.
  9. Spoon the jasmine rice into shallow bowls. Ladle the shrimp and mango-spinach curry over and around the rice so the sauce pools nicely. Garnish with a small handful of cilantro if using. For the best presentation, keep a few bright mango cubes and several shrimp visible on top.

Health notes: Approximately 700-820 calories per serving. About 36g protein, 24g fat, 80g carbohydrates, 5-7g fiber. Higher-calorie and a bit richer than the other meals due to rice and coconut milk, but still nutrient-dense with seafood, spinach, and fruit.

Drink pairing: Aromatic whites shine with the gentle heat, sweet mango, and curry spices. Riesling is the classic answer, offering fruit and acidity that calm spice, while Gewurztraminer matches the dish’s floral and tropical notes. Choose a dry to off-dry version depending on your heat level.
