Lemongrass Mango Shrimp

The unique flavor of lemongrass is the secret ingredient to this authentic Vietnamese coconut curry. Once the vegetables are chopped and the seafood prepared, this dish takes mere minutes to cook on the stovetop. Use only one tablespoon of curry for mild spiciness, especially when serving to children.
