Curried Broccoli

Broccoli is one of my favorite vegetables; I eat it year-round and almost never get sick of it. But when it comes to cold-weather broccoli dishes, I like them spicy and robust.

This Spicy Curried Broccoli with toasted coconut is a family favorite and just that. It is so easy to make, packs a punch of flavor, is Vegan, Paleo and compliant for the Whole30. This serves up a side dish out of the norm and is fantastic reheated.

If you happen to have some frozen (already cleaned) shrimp on hand, toss them in at the same time as the broccoli and you have a complete meal in a bowl!

NOTES:

• If you want to make this Mild, I suggest using a Mild curry powder or only using ½ the amount of curry powder and adding more as needed.
