Set aside in a saute pan or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of the McEvoy Ranch Thai Lime Olive Oil and quickly saute the onions, peppers, ginger, and garlic until lightly colored and crisp-tender.
Add vegetables to the curry sauce.
Add the remaining tablespoon of Olive Oil to the pan and saute the shrimp over high heat until just done.
