You Put the Lime in the Coconut

Dinner on Monday night was Thai green curry over rice with pina coladas.

For the curry:
1/2 pound large shrimp, shells removed
1/4 cup green onions, sliced
1/2 large red bell pepper, juillenned
1/4 pound green beans, cleaned
One jar of Trader Joe's Thai green curry simmer sauce

Stir fried beans and peppers for 5 minutes, removed from pan. Stir fried shrimp and green onions until shrimp became pink, about 4 minutes. Added simmer sauce and covered with lid. Simmered for 10 minutes. Served over cooked white rice.

For the pina coladas:
Ice
Fresh pineapple
Pineapple juice
Coconut milk
Coconut rum

I don't know the exact measurements because I adjusted as I blended the ingredients together. I made way too much since I used the whole can of coconut milk...will be drinking again tonight!
