Instructions

  1. 1Rinse the brown rice and cook it in salted water for about 25–30 minutes, until soft but still slightly firm to the bite. Drain.
  2. 2Heat the oil in a wok or a larger pan. Add the curry paste and fry it over medium heat for 1 minute to release its aroma. Stir in the chopped garlic and grated ginger and fry for another 30 seconds.
  3. 3Pour in the coconut cream and add the honey. Mix well so the paste completely dissolves into the liquid. Once the sauce comes to a boil, add the sliced bell pepper and broccoli.
  4. 4Reduce the heat and cook the vegetables for 5–7 minutes, until slightly softened but still crunchy.
  5. 5Add the shrimp to the pan. Cook for just 2–3 minutes (depending on size), until they turn pink and become firm. Don't overcook them so they stay juicy.
  6. 6Remove the dish from the heat, stir in the lime juice and season with more salt if needed.
  7. 7Serve the curry in deep plates over the brown rice and generously sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
