I absolutely love Christmas food. I served the Swedish Smörgåsbord (of course!) and not only do I love all the traditional dishes, I also love all the memories they bring. But before and after Christmas I always crave other flavors and I take an extra step in making sure we have dishes with a wide range of spices.
This Creamy Shrimp Curry is a family favorite, and can be made into both a Clean Eating and LCHF/Keto recipe. Just swap out the rice for cauliflower rice or a salad.
Enjoy!
