Curried Mango Tofu & Shrimp with Coconut Rice

This Curried Mango Tofu with Coconut Rice is an easy, satisfying vegetarian dinner. It can be made with whatever vegetables you have on hand for that last-minute weeknight meal!

This recipe is not historical, but it is vegetarian as written and could easily be made vegan!  There is no tofu section in any of my historical cookbooks, so this is definitely outside the Heritage Box. Shocking, I know! I have several vegetarian and vegan friends who have diligently been following my blog, so this recipe is for you!

This recipe is perfect for weeknight cooking because you can really use whatever vegetables and meat you have in your refrigerator.
