• 4 add coconut milk and mix well. you can add about 1/3cup water if it is too thick.
• 5 add carrot and potatoes and bring to a boil. leave the pot uncovered so that the water previously added will evaporate and you will get a nice thick gravy.

• 7 simmer for 5 minutes until shrimp turn pink. do not overcook at this stage as shrimp will turn rubbery.
