Low Carb Easy Shrimp Curry Laska

This delicious curry is super easy and quick to make. The broth is made from both Thai red curry and yellow Madras curry and then swirled into creamy coconut milk and rich chicken broth. Shrimp is added to the broth right at the very end and cooked until pink. After the soup is ladled into bowls and then topped with a soft boiled egg, fresh bean sprouts, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. This Low Carb dish will quickly become your favorite (and it is simple enough for weeknight meals)!

What is Curry Laska?

Curry Laska is a Malaysian soup that is made using a coconut curry base. There are many different versions of this dish, some with shredded chicken, tofu, and shrimp. So feel free to add these proteins as well as fish balls which are common. The most Keto and Low Carb-friendly version of the soup should not contain tofu and fish balls which have many additives.

Is the soup spicy?

Depending on the brand of curry you add, the soup could range from mild to spicy. If you like spicy soups feel free to add more curry or even chopped Thai chiles.

How quick is this soup to make?

The soup itself takes about 20 minutes and prepping the fresh ingredients on top takes about 20 minutes.

    This is really good, not that spicy. Easy to make, added to favorites/will make again list.

      Thoroughly enjoyed this dish but hubby said it needed more heat and salt. Will definitely make again
