Refreshing shrimp curry in mint-cilantro sauce…

Summer has started and my vegetable garden is up & coming along great. After almost 5 months of freezing cold winter in Canada, I look forward to Summer to enjoy outdoor activities, travel, gardening, beach, stroll, outdoor cooking, grilling & anything & everything outdoorsy.

Picking fresh herbs & veggies from my vegetable garden and add them to my cooking, what a joy! For making this dish, I picked fresh mint, green onions & cilantro; turned out delicious & is a refreshing shrimp curry.
