Jamaican Yellow Curry Shrimp with Pineapple:

Mix greek yogurt and jamaican yellow curry powder in a bowl.  Dump shrimp into the curry mixture.  Chop pineapple down.  Assemble kebabs and pour remaining sauce over.

Vegetable Medley: Onion, bell pepper, zucchini, tomato

Thai Green Curry Pulled Pork

Pork Tenderloin
Potatoes
Red Bell Pepper
White Onion
Olive Oil
Garlic, s/p, thyme
Thai Green Curry Paste (maesri)
Coconut milk
Water

Pulled Pork is definitely better using the smoker and a pork shoulder--but the dish came out alright using a tenderloin.  Rough chop all the vegetables and the tenderloin.  Dump everything into a slow cooker and let it run for 6-8hrs.  After about 5hrs, I took the large chunks of pork out, pulled it, and returned the meat to the cooker.
