Ingredients
Method
Directions
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Incorporate Tomato Paste
Add the tomato paste to the skillet, stirring well to mix it with the spices and aromatics. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the mixture to deepen in flavor.
Pour in Coconut Milk
Slowly pour the coconut milk into the skillet, stirring continuously to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the Shrimp
Once the sauce is simmering, add the shrimp to the skillet. Stir to ensure the shrimp are well-coated with the curry sauce.
Cook the Shrimp
Allow the shrimp to cook in the curry sauce for about 5-7 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro. Serve the shrimp curry hot with rice or naan.
