Hot and Spicy Thai Shrimp and Vegetable Curry

Ingredients:

1 tbsp. peanut oil 
1 small onion, chopped (optional; may substitute bamboo shoots but add those when you add coconut milk and do not saute) 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped 
1 medium zucchini, roll cut 
8 ounces button mushrooms, halved or quartered 
1 bell pepper, chopped 
1-3 hot chillies, sliced (Thai style or serrano preferred) 
14 ounces "lite" unsweetened coconut milk 
1-3 tbsp. red curry paste (amount to taste) 
3-4 kaffir lime leaves or substitute some lime zest 
2 tsp. Splenda (or to taste) 
2 tbsp. fish sauce (nam pla) 
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined 
2/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves (preferably Thai basil) 

Method: 

In a large deep skillet, heat oil and add onions, garlic and chopped chillies and cook for 1-3 minutes. 
If you are sensitive to volatile odors from heated chillies, just add them when you add the coconut milk, but in any case, vent the cooking area. 
Add the zucchini, mushrooms, and bell pepper to the pan, cooking until they are half-tender. 
Add cocnut milk, curry paste, lime leaves, Splenda and fish sauce, stirring mixture until curry paste mingles with the coconut milk. 
Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until vegetables are mostly cooked through. 
Add shrimp to the pan and stir over medium heat, uncovered, until shrimp become pink but are not curled too tightly (tightness makes them tough). Either stir basil into the curry or use as a garnish, whichever you prefer. Serve in a bowl (you may also serve with steamed jasmine rice, but that is off limits for low-carb). 3 servings
