    This wonderful, family-friendly dinner recipe for coconut curry shrimp and grits was the grand-prize winner in the main course category of our previous Dairy-Free 3-Course Recipe Contest, sponsored by So Delicious Dairy Free. We had posted the recipe previously in our news section with the other winning recipes previously, but wanted to give it a more deserving home in the recipe section.

    This recipe with photo was created and shared with us by Kadija B. of Spice Lime, who says, “You’ve never had shrimp and grits this good!”

    Our tasters agreed. This flavorful Indian-inspired dish has a fun Southern flair, using coconut milk beverage in both the sauce and the grits! I’ve added these curried chicken skewers to Sarah’s Recipe section, as she was one of the testers who approved this recipe as big-time winner

    2. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the seasoned shrimp and curry powder. Sauté until the shrimp is pink on both sides, about 6 minutes.
