Yellow Curry Ingredients — 100% from Trader Joe’s
Trader Joe’s Thai Style Yellow Curry Sauce: This bottled yellow curry sauce provides a flavorful base for this meal with a blend of spices and coconut milk. It’s fairly mild (even for a Minnesota palate!). Frozen Ginger Cubes: These convenient frozen ginger cubes add a quick burst of fresh ginger flavor without the hassle of peeling or chopping. We keep these in our freezer at all times! Frozen Garlic Cubes: Again, no need to mince fresh cloves! You’ll get the fresh garlic taste without the hassle. Petite Frozen Peas: These frozen peas add a pop of sweetness and a bright green color to the curry + an extra veggie protein boost 😊 Matchstick Carrots: The matchstick-cut carrots are in the fresh produce section. We love an easy veggie addition like this. Frozen Medium Shrimp: Pre-cooked and deveined, aka easy peasy. TJ’s has multiple varieties and sizes of pre-cooked shrimp, so choose your own adventure here. Frozen Jasmine Rice: This frozen pre-cooked jasmine rice is always in our freezers! Pop it in the microwave for 3 minutes, and you’re good to go. Fresh Cilantro and Lime Juice: While these are optional, they do jazz up your one pot meal when added right before serving.
