Method
Step 1
Melt butter and olive oil in large pan over medium-high heat. Once butter has melted add shrimp in single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Fry 2-3 minutes until cooked, flipping halfway through. Remove cooked shrimp from pan and set aside.
Step 2
To the same pan add onion and garlic, add additional 1/2 tbsp olive oil if pan looks dry. Cook, scraping any brown bits off bottom of the pan. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add curry powder, and sauté additional minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add coconut milk, 2-3 tbsp water, honey, lemon juice, asparagus,red pepper and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
Step 4
Reduce heat to a simmer, cover pan with lid, and let veggies steam until cooked but still crisp (1-2 min). Uncover, remove from heat, and stir in cooked shrimp.
Step 5
Season with salt and pepper to taste, plus additional honey and lemon juice as needed. Mix in chopped basil leaves. Add a few dashes of hot sauce if you like a touch of spice.
Step 6
Serve with rice noodles, fluffy rice, or naan!
