Chicken coconut curry with shrimp

This is a really easy and quick recipe you’re definitely going to love. Chicken curry simmered in coconut milk with shrimp is one dish i love making especially when i need a quick fix for a sumptuous meal. i’m a real chicken lover while some members of the fam are practically tired of eating chicken. When i first thought about this meal i really wanted to make the recipe solely with shrimp but to be frank, it tasted bland and not well suited for my naija taste buds. So, i had to throw in a few chicken parts and Voila! the taste became impeccable. It’s quite similar to Chicken curry and goes very well with rice, potato,yam and vegetables. Let’s try this.
