This is a subtle yet richly flavored curry that complements 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.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons peanut oil

½ sweet onion, minced

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 ½ teaspoons ground turmeric

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon red 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

 Step 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 ground chile (see Note) to the onion and stir over low heat. Pour the tomatoes and coconut milk into the skillet; season with salt.

Step 2

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.

Note:

Use Indian-style chile powder or ground red chiles for this recipe, not the Mexican spice blend.
