Pan-fried Shrimp with Green Curry Cashew Sauce
Serves 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
You can purchase bottled Thai green curry sauce in most supermarkets, but this recipe proves how quick and easy it is to make your own. Refrigerate any leftover sauce, covered, for up to 3 days.
1 slice (1/4 inch thick) peeled fresh ginger
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons roasted unsalted cashews
1/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon curry powder
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined large shrimp
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 In a food processor, pulse the ginger until finely chopped. Add the 3/4 cup cashews; process until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.
2 Add the yogurt, cilantro, sugar, and curry powder; season with salt. Process until incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. Transfer to a serving bowl; sprinkle with the remaining cashews.
3 Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the shrimp; cook until opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining tablespoon oil and remaining shrimp. Serve the shrimp with the sauce.

- Everything I was hoping for in my Rachael Ray cookbook
Straightforward, delicious food that you can put together pretty quickly. Can you do them all in under 30? No. But could I do the Rachael Ray recipes in under 30? No! When I tried RR's recipes, things would often go wrong, like too much chicken broth, or else I would find the recipes oddly fussy, with too many ingredients. These recipes are WINNERS. I have cooked about a dozen different ones and there was only 1 that I would not make again (and several that I have already made again). That's a higher ... Read More
Rating: - Delicious and beautiful food!
This has become one of my favorite cook books. I love how simple each of the recipes are, and just because they are simple does not mean that they are not delicious! Each recipe that I have tried has been great, and everyone who has tried it loves it as well. This is definitely a great buy, because it doesn't take too long to make the meals, which means that you'll have more time to do other necessary things throughout the day!
Rating: - good and easy
I like this book. Recipes are easy, but a little unusual. Great pictures, and recipes are arranged by season, which makes it easy to use ingredients from the farmer's market.
Rating: - lives up to its name
My boyfriend and I work six days a week, and dont get home ever before 6pm and sometimes we dont get home until 10pm. I bought this cookbook especially for our shortened dinner preparation time.
We pick recipes that have total times of 30 minutes or less. We do the small amount of chopping, gathering ingredients and pots before we leave for work (which takes all of 10 minutes). The recipes are very quick to assemble, most of the time is just waiting for the ingredients to cook in the pan/pot. ... Read More

- Great pictures, good recipes
I too love Everyday Food magazine and was very excited when this book came in the mail. The photos are gorgeous and the recipes are clearly written and easy to follow. Breaking the recipes into seasons is a good idea in theory, but I don't think it is as helpful as the layout of the magazine which groups recipes based on common ingredients (don't know what to do with the rest of your buttermilk? no worries! here are chicken, cake and cookie recipes that will help you finish it off). This is a great book and ... Read More
