Easy Coconut Shrimp Curry with Maya Kaimal Simmer Sauce
/Imagine walking down the refrigerated aisle at Costco and you just so happen to bump into your favorite simmer sauce brand, Maya Kaimal. Knowing that their simmer sauces pair amazingly with meat or vegetables and can be spread on pizza, spooned over noodles, or even be used to spice up tacos or quesadillas, what would you make with them? The options are nearly infinite!
I knew right away when I first saw these sauces on the shelf that I wanted to make a super simple coconut shrimp curry to pair with leftover vegetables we had on hand: frozen peas, canned tomatoes, and quite obviously, some hot peppers that we grew in our garden. The results were nothing short of amazing! Adrian and I were sad we didn’t make more than four servings. We could have eaten this curry for days.
If you love Thai curries, you’ll also love Maya Kaimal’s refrigerated simmer sauces because they’re fresh, simple, and classic. Made with local ingredients like coconut milk, ginger, and curry leaves to capture the true taste of fresh Indian home cooking, the Coconut Curry simmer sauce makes for a dish that’s bursting with sweet, spicy, and exotic flavors. So much yum!
You can find Maya Kaimal’s simmer sauces at Costco on the West Coast and in some Midwest regions. Currently, Costco offers two-packs with 24 oz of Vindaloo Curry and Coconut Curry. They also offer individual 40 oz containers of Tikka Masala in the refrigerator case.
