Pumpkin Shrimp Curry

October 29, 2013 by Kristina Manning

“Another way of dealing with the slight sweetness of pumpkin is to add some spice to the dish to help cut through it. Curry and pumpkin is a very popular combination and this Thai influenced version of Pumpkin soup does a fabulous job of layering on the flavor and building on the sweetness of the pumpkin without creating a sweet dish.”

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup sliced onion

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
