Notes

Buy peeled and deveined shrimp to save time on prepping.
Don't over-marinate the shrimp as the lime juice will cook it.
Careful not to overcook the shrimp as it'll become rubbery.
To store: Store leftover curry in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
To reheat: Reheat the curry in the microwave or on the stovetop until hot. Since it's thick, you'll need to stir it throughout.
To freeze: Freeze the curry for up to 3 months. Make sure you leave space when freezing as liquid expands as it freezes.
