For close to a decade now, I have worked with the Houston American Diabetes Association on a bike ride called Tour de Cure. Finding foods that can help lower the risk of diabetes and other conditions, is huge!

Grapes are high in antioxidants, beneficial plant compounds that may protect against chronic health conditions,such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease.#Grapes #grapesforlife #healthyfood #healthy #foodie #cleaneats #foodblogger #vegans #whatveganseat #wellness #fitness #food pic.twitter.com/cHB93GcCgh

What's more southern than Shrimp and Grits? Finding a good version on a menu anywhere is like a slice of heaven!

This succulent shrimp and grits was just one of the amazing dishes that I ate on my trip to DC last week. I finally got to check @succotashrestaurant off of my bucket list. The flavors brought me pure happiness! 😋🍤 #optmimistickitchen #foodblogger #topchefsuperfan pic.twitter.com/YsF1Di6NLS

Curry Shrimp

Two things I love together in one dish, shrimp and curry! We put this curry dish together with some items we had in the pantry, and it came together pretty easy! For the curry spice, we used the Maharajah blend from Seasonality Spices.


The Recipe:

Curry Shrimp

• 1 Onion - Diced
• 1 Bell Pepper - Diced
• 1 14.5 Ounce Can Diced Tomatoes
• 1 8 Ounce Can Coconut Milk
• 10 to 16 Shrimp - Peeled and Deveined
• 1 Tablespoon Maharajah Blend
• Salt and Pepper
• Rice (Optional)
• Naan Bread
• Olive Oil

Sauté the onions and green bell peppers in olive oil with salt and pepper, until the onions are translucent. Add the diced tomatoes and coconut milk and the Maharajah Blend. Stir to combine. Let simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Add the shrimp and stir to combine. Let cook for a few minutes, five minutes at most. When the shrimp turn pink, it's ready to eat! 

This can be served over rice if desired. It turned out a little bit soupy, so rice would help soak up some of the extra liquid. The naan bread is a great way to help scoop everything up!

Happy eating!
