Curry Shrimp Jackfruit

     I was so excited to have the privilege to try out the many flavors of Jackfruit.  Thank you Mr Jackfruit for spoiling a girl!  I couldn't wait to get my hands on the Curry (aromatic spices combined for authentic South Indian flavor), and I think it turned out splendid.  Did you know that Jackfruit, a green spikey fruit, is the largest tree-borne fruit in the world, growing over 100 pounds in size!?  Jackfruit is the newest darling in the meat-free main dish category.  This fabulous dinner is only 300 calories, 27g net carbs and 23g protein for each of the 6 servings.  How's that for having it all!?  :)
