Tropical Delight: Creamy Coconut Shrimp Curry Recipe

Today’s Creation: Creamy Coconut Shrimp Curry

Greetings, foodies! Today, I’m sharing a recipe that perfectly encapsulates my love for blending exotic flavors with comforting dishes. My creamy coconut shrimp curry is a delightful fusion of creamy coconut milk, succulent shrimp, and a medley of aromatic spices that will transport you to a tropical paradise with every bite.

For this flavorful dish, you will need the following ingredients:

• 500g large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 400ml coconut milk
• 1 large onion (chopped)
• 2 tomatoes (diced)
• 4 cloves of garlic (minced)
• 1-inch piece of ginger (grated)
• 2 tbsp curry powder
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp turmeric powder
• Handful of fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
• Salt and pepper to taste

To bring this dish to life, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

• large skillet
• wooden spoon
• knife
• cutting board
• grater

Start by heating a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant. Next, throw in the diced tomatoes and continue cooking until they soften.

Once the tomatoes have cooked down, sprinkle in the curry powder, chili powder, and turmeric powder, stirring well to coat the vegetables. Pour in the coconut milk, season with salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

At this point, add the large shrimp to the skillet, stirring gently to coat them in the creamy coconut curry sauce. Allow the shrimp to cook for 5-7 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.

To finish off this delectable dish, sprinkle fresh coriander leaves over the creamy coconut shrimp curry, giving it a burst of freshness and vibrant color. Serve the curry hot over steamed rice or with crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1100g, with 4 servings at 275g each. One serving of this creamy coconut shrimp curry is estimated to be around 350 calories.

One clever tip for enhancing the flavor of this dish is to add a squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving. The acidity of the lime brightens up the rich coconut curry and adds a zesty kick that elevates the dish to new heights.

I encourage you to give this creamy coconut shrimp curry a try and make it your own by adjusting the spices or adding your favorite vegetables. Let your culinary creativity shine, and enjoy a taste of the tropics with this delightful recipe. Happy cooking!
