4 small scallions, whites and greens separated, chopped

2 TB Thai green curry paste

Dash garlic powder

1 lb shrimp

6 oz light coconut milk

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil on medium-high flame. Add scallion whites and green curry paste; sauté one minute. Add shrimp and garlic, season with salt and cook about 2-3 minutes.
