Indian Shrimp Curry

By: Jacqueline B 
"This is a subtle yet richly flavored curry that compliments shrimp perfectly. A very authentic taste, and a very easy meal to prepare when you are in a hurry. Make sure you pop the shrimp tails off before adding to skillet. Serve with rice."

Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 1/2 sweet onion, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound cooked and peeled shrimp
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the onion in the hot oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow it to cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, turmeric, paprika, and chili powder to the onion and stir over low heat. Pour the tomatoes and coconut milk into the skillet; season with salt. Cook the mixture at a simmer, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Stir the shrimp, fresh cilantro, and dried cilantro into the sauce mixture; cook another 1 minute before serving.
