Red Curry, Shrimp and Green Beans

I love Thai food and this came from ingredients I had on the counter when it was time to make dinner

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1T dumpling sauce (pour over the raw shrimp before cooking)
1 red pepper, cored, seeded and sliced in strips
2 cups string beans, cut into one inch pieces, on the diagonal
1/2 sweet onion chopped into course chunks
1T Thai red curry paste
1 14.5 oz can of coconut milk
1T grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic chopped fine (or dried garlic)
1 T olive oil

Cook rice.
Use Jasmine rice (2 scoops in a rice cooker) with 1/3 the above can of coconut milk plus necessary water for cooking.

Make the shrimp and other stuff....
Add olive oil to the pan, start to saute the garlic and add the peppers and onions. Add in the green beans, and the curry paste. Saute until tender crisp. Grate the ginger and add the shrimp. Saute the shrimp until almost cooked. Add in the coconut milk and simmer until everything is done.

Serve over the jasmine rice and enjoy!
