Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F.

-
Using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large pot over medium.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl until melted.
- Add shallots. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until slightly softened.
- Add Indian Spice Mix, ginger-garlic puree and curry paste. Cook for 30 sec, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- To the pot, add sweet potato, lentils, stock powder, coconut milk and 1/3 cup (2/3 cup) water. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.

- Meanwhile, halve buns.
- Spread 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) softened butter on cut sides.
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange bottom buns, 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 bottom of the oven for 4-5 min per side, until cheese melts and buns are browned and crisp.
- To the stew, add spinach and half the cilantro.
- Cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until spinach wilts.
- Season with salt and pepper.
