        <![CDATA[<div style="text-align: left;">The April Contest was tasty! The first two people to check out the available <a href="http://shop.christinelarsen.com/collections/veggie-alphabet">Veggie Alphabet Mini Paintings</a> and to submit a recipe using one of the ingredients would win that mini painting. Easy! Dani and Amy were the first to reply, Dani with a Yam Curry recipe and Amy with a sauteed Zucchini dish. Congratulations!

<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Christine Marie Larsen Illustration: Yam mini painting" src="http://www.christinelarsen.com/sketchbook/images/mini_yam_sm.jpg" width="300" height="212" class="mt-image-left" style="float: right; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" /></span><strong>Dani's winning entry:</strong> <br />
Red Shrimp and Mango Curry (adapted from Nigella Lawson's Nigella Express)<br />
 <br />
2 scallions, finely sliced<br />
1 tablespoon cooking oil<br />
1 ½ Tablespoons red Thai curry paste (or according to taste)<br />
1 cup coconut milk<br />
1 cup chicken stock<br />
2 teaspoons fish sauce (nam pla)<br />
12 oz/2 ½ cups cubed yams (can also add a bit of cubed butternut squash or just use yams)<br />
7 oz.  frozen king shrimp (2 cups)<br />
1 cup mango cubes<br />
2 teaspoons lime juice<br />
3-4 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro<br />
<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Christine Marie Larsen Illustration: Zucchini mini painting" src="http://www.christinelarsen.com/sketchbook/images/mini_zucchini_sm.jpg" width="300" height="212" class="mt-image-left" style="float: right; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></span><br />
1.       Fry the sliced scallion in the oil for one minute, then add the curry paste<br />
2.       Whisk in the coconut milk, stock, and fish sauce and bring to a boil<br />
3.       Add the yams and simmer, partially covered for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender<br />
4.       Drain the shrimp under running water to remove excess ice and add to the pan, letting the sauce come back to a boil. When it does, add the mango and lime juice and cook for another minute or so until shrimp is cooked through.<br />
5.       Sprinkle with chopped cilantro as you serve over plain rice or wide rice noodles<br />
 <br />
Serves 2-4</p>

<p><strong>Amy's winning entry:</strong><br />
Chop a bunch of zucchini into thick rounds - at least ½ inch thick.  Heat a big slug of extra virgin olive oil up in a frying pan - medium high temp. Saute the zucchinis until they are browned and cooked through. Sprinkle with kosher salt and YUM.</div></p>]]>
