Steps:

• In a large deep skillet, heat oil and add onions, garlic and chopped chillies and cook for 1-3 minutes.

• Add the zucchini, mushrooms, and bell pepper to the pan, cooking until they are half-tender.
• Add coconut milk, curry paste, lime leaves, Splenda and fish sauce, stirring mixture until curry paste mingles with the coconut milk.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until vegetables are mostly cooked through.
• Add shrimp to the pan and stir over medium heat, uncovered, until shrimp become pink but are not curled too tightly (tightness makes them tough).
