For a richer flavor, consider using homemade coconut milk. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick. Feel free to substitute other types of squash, such as butternut or kabocha. Other vegetables, such as eggplant, can also be added. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. Some may prefer a less sweet stew. For a vegan option, omit the shrimp or replace with other vegan proteins.
