To save more time, purchase shrimp that has already been peeled and de-veined.
INGREDIENTS (for 4 servings):
- 2 cups uncooked white rice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons red curry paste

Cook the rice according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. While the rice is cooking, combine the water and curry paste in a medium bowl; add shrimp, tossing to coat.
