Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Prep all low-glycemic ingredients: measure out the peeled shrimp, sugar snap peas, and light coconut milk using US or metric units.
2
If cooking on the stove or oven, preheat to 375°F (190°C) and lightly coat your pan with 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil.
3
Combine peeled shrimp with light coconut milk and lime, cooking for 8 minutes until tender and aromatic (165°F / 74°C internal for poultry).
4
Fold in sugar snap peas and red curry paste during the final 4 minutes to preserve nutrients, healthy fats, and crunch.
5
Plate immediately in balanced macros (half plate non-starchy greens, quarter lean protein, quarter slow-digesting fiber).

💡 Chef Tips for Best Results

  • ✓Eat the protein and fiber (peeled shrimp and sugar snap peas) first to flatten your post-meal blood glucose curve by up to 30%.
  • ✓Take a 10-minute brisk walk after eating this meal to increase muscle glucose uptake naturally.
  • ✓Pair with unsweetened green tea or lemon water rather than fruit juice to keep glycemic load under 10.

🧊 Storage, Freezing & Safe Reheating
