As the weather starts to warm up, I find myself craving colorful and vibrant dishes that are both refreshing and satisfying. Today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe for Mango Curry with Spicy Shrimp that will transport your taste buds to tropical paradise. The combination of sweet mangoes, savory curry, and spicy shrimp creates a perfect balance of flavors that will leave you craving more.

To begin, gather the following ingredients:

• 2 ripe mangoes (peeled and diced)
• 400g shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1 can (400ml) coconut milk
• 3 tbsp red curry paste
• 1 onion (chopped)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1-inch piece ginger (grated)
• 1 red chili (minced)
• 1 bell pepper (sliced)
• Fresh cilantro for garnish
• Cooking oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Make sure you have the following kitchen tools ready:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• large skillet
• wooden spoon
• measuring spoons

Start by heating some cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, and minced red chili. Sauté for a few minutes until the onions are soft and fragrant.

Next, add the red curry paste to the skillet and cook for another minute, stirring constantly to toast the spices. Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Add the diced mangoes and sliced bell pepper to the skillet, stirring gently to coat them in the curry sauce. Allow the mangoes to simmer until they soften slightly, about 10 minutes.

While the curry is simmering, season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

Once the shrimp is cooked through, remove the skillet from heat. Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Serve the Mango Curry with Spicy Shrimp hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
