Patchoi with Shrimp

Recently I spoke to my niece in Trinidad, and as always I asked what’s for dinner. She mentioned patchoi with shrimp and of course I asked how she made it. As luck would have it, I had a patchoi in the fridge and a package of shrimp in the freezer.
As we all know, vegetables, if not attended to immediately, go bad, resulting in food waste. I have been guilty of food waste and I am trying to reduce food waste myself.
Immediately, I went to the kitchen and whipped this up in less than 30 mins. As you would see in the video, I seasoned the shrimp while it was still frozen! By the time it all came together it was defrosted. That is the beauty of frozen shrimp. A must have in every freezer.
In this recipe for patchoi with shrimp, the chopped patchoi is cooked with simple seasoning and coconut milk or powder, followed by the addition of seasoned shrimp. Because both these ingredients cook quickly, my lunch was ready in no time. The flavors meld amazingly together, and I was happy to have some greens/a vegetable with my meal.
