Instructions
- 1Thinly slice the onion. Pat the shrimp dry, season it with the kosher salt and black pepper, and wash your hands with soap and water.
- 2Warm the cooking oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and a pinch of the listed kosher salt, then cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent and softened.
- 3Stir in the curry powder and red pepper flakes, cooking for 30-60 seconds until fragrant. Add the coconut milk and broccoli, then simmer for 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is crisp-tender and the sauce gently coats a spoon.
- 4Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning once, until pearly and opaque and curled into a C. Transfer the shrimp to a plate, then wash the board, knife, skillet utensil, and your hands with soap and water before touching anything else.
- 5Heat the cooked brown rice in the skillet with the curry sauce for 2-3 minutes until steaming hot and the grains are tender, stirring so the sauce coats the rice.
- 6Taste the sauce and adjust with kosher salt and black pepper. Spoon the rice and broccoli into a bowl and top with the shrimp.
