Quick Curry Shrimp with Couscous & Green Beans

We originally planned to make a baked fish with curry marinade, but unfortunately Trader Joe's was plum out of frozen fish. So we got frozen shrimp instead!

This was a pretty good meal. Not one of our best, but definitely a recipe to revisit when we're in a pinch and need a quick dinner. The leftovers were also better than the freshly prepared version, surprisingly.

On the side, we served steamed green beans with a touch of olive oil, salt and pepper, along with couscous seasoned with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt and pepper (to taste).

Curry Shrimp

1 package frozen shrimp (medium-sized), thawed
1 medium onion, diced
4-5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2ish bottle Trader Joe's red curry marinade
black pepper to taste

In a skillet over medium heat, add oil and onions. Saute for about 5 minutes, or until onion is just translucent. Add the garlic and ginger and saute for an additional 2 minutes to release and mingle the flavors. Add the red curry marinade and cook, stirring, until the marinade comes to a steady simmer. Add the shrimp and cook for 5 - 6 minutes. Add black pepper to taste. This dish definitely did not need any additional salt.

Overall, not too bad.
