Chef's Note
For the best flavor, don't skip the fresh ginger and lime zest. If you prefer a spicier dish, add 1-2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño with the vegetables. The coconut sauce also works wonderfully with chicken if shrimp isn't available.

Delicious. Added some curry paste and fish sauce for a bit more flavour. Very easy to make too.
