Healthy, because
The tender but firm meat of the shrimp is low in calories and contains little fat. In addition, the crustaceans are a good source of high-quality protein and the vital trace elements zinc and iodine. As an important component of thyroid hormones, iodine is involved in the energy metabolism.
Even smarter
If you are not a low-carb fan, you can enjoy the curry with natural rice. The whole grain rice is also available as fragrant rice (basmati) and rounds off the dish perfectly with its nutty taste.
