Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, curry powder, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat in the marinade. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes to enhance the flavors.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper and julienned carrot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly softened but still crisp.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, toss with the sautéed vegetables, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat everything through.
- Warm the tortilla wraps in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable.
- Divide the shrimp and vegetable mixture evenly among the warm tortilla wraps.
- Sprinkle with chopped cilantro to add freshness.
- Roll up the wraps tightly and serve warm, optionally with extra lime wedges on the side.
