"This creamy and flavorful stew is a great combination using almond milk and shrimp. This recipe is inspired by Thai Coconut curry where one of the main ingredients is coconut milk. Coconut milk is common in Asian homes. Here we substitute it with almond milk which is a commonly available in the US. It will give you a rich and flavorful stew and a more soup-like consistency. You can add any of your favorite herbs and spices to this dish. Some great ones would be cumin, paprika or lemon balm. And a stalk of lemongrass would add a lot of flavor as well."
