• 1 15 oz. can Bar Harbor All Natural Fish Stock (available at WFM)
• 1 Tbsp. Thai Kitchen Red Curry Paste (available at WFM and Kroger)
• 1 1-inch piece of ginger, peeled and sliced
• 1 cup roselle leaves, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 14 oz. can light unsweetened coconut milk

Instructions

1. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté for a few minutes.
2. Add garlic and squash. Sauté until nice and slightly golden, about 7-10 minutes.
3. Add the curry and cumin seeds and mix to combine. Add broth, ginger and roselle. Stir in coconut milk.
4. Simmer uncovered until squash is completely tender and liquid is slightly reduced, about 8-10 minutes. While simmering, add red curry paste a little at a time, adding more to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. After 10 minutes, add the spinach and shrimp. Cook 2-3 more minutes until spinach has wilted and shrimp is about done. You can choose to add the noodles or rice to the soup and combine, or keep separate.
