Instructions
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F. Remove 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) from the fridge and set aside to come up to room temperature. Wash and dry all produce. Peel, then finely mince or grate 1 tbsp ginger (dbl for 4 ppl). Peel, then cut shallot into 1/4-inch pieces. Roughly chop cilantro.
Heat a large pot over medium heat. While the pan heats, using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn pink, 2-3 min.**When hot, add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then swirl the pot until melted. Add shallots. Cook, stirring often, until slightly softened, 2-3 min. Add ginger. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 sec. Sprinkle Indian Spice Mix into the pan and add curry paste. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.
Add squash, lentils, broth concentrates and coconut milk to the pot with aromatics. Fill half the coconut milk can with water (whole can for 4 ppl), then add to the pot. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Bring to a simmer over medium-high. Once simmering, reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until squash is tender, 12-14 min. (TIP: Add 1/4 cup water to loosen stew, if necessary.)
Meanwhile, havle buns. Spread 2 tbsp softened butter (dbl for 4 ppl) on cut sides. Arrange bottom buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet, buttered-side down. Carefully top with cheese. Arrange top buns on bottom buns, buttered-side up. Place another piece of parchment paper over top of buns, then press down with another baking sheet to flatten slightly. Keep the top sheet on and bake toasties in the middle of the oven, flipping halfway through, until cheese melts and buns are golden-brown and crisp, 4-5 min per side.
Add shrimp, spinach and half the cilantro to stew. Cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach wilts, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Divide stew between bowls. Sprinkle remaining cilantro over top. Cut toasties in half and serve alongside.
