KEY LIME SHRIMP RED CURRY WW

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook onion and bell pepper in oil 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. (I prefer them cooked 12-15 minutes.) Move onion and bell pepper to side of skillet; add shrimp to other side. Cook shrimp about 2 minutes or until just starting to turn pink. (Or, use cooked frozen shrimp. Thaw under cold water and add with the curry paste and lime juice.) Add curry paste and juice of 1/2 lime, stirring well to incorporate.
• Remove from heat; cool 3 minutes (so yogurt does not curdle when added to mixture). Stir in yogurt.
• Serve over rice; top with fresh cilantro. Cut remaining 1/2 lime into 4 wedges; serve lime wedge with each serving.
