Instructions
In a medium sized bowl, add all of the ingredients for the shrimp and calamari marinade and mix together. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
As seafood marinates, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add coconut oil to the pan. Sauté onion, red pepper, and jalapeno pepper and cook for 5 minutes until vegetables have softened. Now, add in the garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 minute.
Add the coriander, curry powder, turmeric, cayenne, and mushrooms to the pan and sauté for one minute.
Add the diced stewed tomatoes, sugar, and white wine, stir and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.
Next, add coconut milk and stir, continue to simmer for 10 more minutes. Adjust seasoning now if needed.
Now, add in the baby kale, shrimp, and calamari with the marinade juices. Simmer it for 2-3 minutes until shrimp is pink and cooked through. Serve with cooked rice.
Recipe Notes
Notes: Do not cook calamari longer than 3 minutes or it will become rubbery.
