Coconut shrimp curry with extra vegetables is a delightful fusion of flavors and textures. This dish has its roots in the coastal regions of South India and Southeast Asia, where coconut and seafood are abundant. The creamy coconut milk, aromatic spices, and succulent shrimp are complemented by a colorful array of vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, and carrots, adding a delightful crunch and freshness to the dish. Renowned chefs like Madhur Jaffrey and Vikas Khanna have popularized this dish, infusing it with their unique culinary expertise. For the best version of this dish, head to coastal restaurants in Kerala, India, where the freshest seafood and locally sourced vegetables elevate the flavors to new heights.

For a twist, consider adding pineapple or mango for a tropical burst of flavor.
