Greetings, foodies! Today, I am excited to share a recipe that brings a burst of exotic flavors to your dinner table. This spicy coconut shrimp curry is perfect for those nights when you crave something bold, flavorful, and comforting. Let’s dive into the vibrant world of Indian-inspired cuisine with this unique dish.

Ingredients:

• 500g shrimp
• 400ml coconut milk
• 200g tomatoes
• 1 large onion
• 4 garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp grated ginger
• 2 green chilies
• 2 tbsp curry powder
• 1 tsp turmeric powder
• Handful of fresh cilantro
• Salt to taste
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil

Kitchen Tools:

• skillet
• wooden spoon
• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• measuring cups

To start, heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chilies. Sauté until the onions turn translucent and the mixture becomes fragrant. Sprinkle in the curry powder and turmeric, stirring to coat the aromatics.

Next, add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and cook until they start to break down, releasing their juices. Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let the flavors meld together for a few minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Now, it’s time to add the star of the dish – the shrimp! Gently place the shrimp into the curry sauce, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Season the curry with salt to taste and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Once the shrimp is cooked through and the flavors have melded beautifully, it’s time to serve your spicy coconut shrimp curry. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice or warm naan bread. Enjoy the rich, creamy sauce with a kick of heat from the green chilies – a true feast for the senses.
