We’re making Shrimp Curry today, and it’s so simple, even if you’re just getting started in the kitchen. Plus, it’s packed with flavor! Let’s go!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 lb (450g) shrimp – Peeled and deveined. Fresh or frozen, both work!
- 1 onion – Finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves – Minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger – Grated
- 1 can (14 oz) of coconut milk – This is what makes it creamy!
- 1 tbsp curry powder – Get the one you like most!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 tsp cumin – Adds a bit of warmth
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes – Adds a nice tang
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil – Or any oil you like
- Salt and pepper – To taste
- Fresh cilantro – Optional, for garnish
- Cooked rice – To serve with
Let’s Cook:
- Get Cooking: Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until they’re soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
2. Prep the Shrimp: If they’re frozen, let them thaw. Pat them dry with paper towels, so they get a nice sear.
3. Add the Flavors: Toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir for a minute until it smells amazing. Then, sprinkle in the curry powder, turmeric, and cumin. Stir well so everything’s coated in the spices.
4. Tomato Time: Pour in the diced tomatoes (juice and all). Let it simmer for about 5 minutes so the flavors start to blend together.
5. Creamy Goodness: Pour in the coconut milk, stir, and let it simmer for another 5-7 minutes. The sauce will thicken a bit and get super creamy.
6. Shrimp Time: Add the shrimp to the pan. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them, or they’ll get rubbery!
7. Season It: Taste your curry and add salt and pepper as needed. If you like a little heat, you can add a pinch of chili flakes or powder.
8. Serve It Up: Spoon your shrimp curry over cooked rice, and sprinkle some fresh cilantro on top if you’re into that.
That’s It!
You just made an awesome Shrimp Curry! 🎉 It’s perfect for a cozy night in or impressing your friends at your next dinner party. Plus, you can totally say you made this from scratch. Enjoy! 😋
