Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 1 red pepper diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
  • a pinch or two (each) salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons mild red curry paste use spicy, if desired
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Rinse the shrimp under cool water, removing the tails and shells (if desired), making sure the shrimp is thawed completely (if using previously frozen). Set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
  • Add the onion, red pepper, garlic and ginger, and saute until fragrant and the onion and pepper is soft.
  • Add the salt and pepper, along with the curry paste and turmeric and continue to cook and stir regularly, letting the flavours develop for a minute or two.
  • Add the shrimp and stir together just until the shrimp start to turn pink.
  • Add the diced tomatoes and coconut milk and stir, letting the shrimp cook in the liquid as it reduces somewhat (about 4-5 minutes), stirring regularly.
  • Once the liquid has reduced into a nice sauce and the shrimp is cooked through (this should only take a few minutes), serve it over rice with some fresh cilantro, if desired.

Notes

This is a great meal prep recipe for busy weekday dinners or lunches. Simply double the recipe and portion it out with a serving of rice, reheat and serve as needed.
This recipe keeps well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days after preparing.

    This was very bland. I had to add curry powder as the curry paste did nothing to enhance the curry flavor. I also added a little cumin, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and more coconut milk then called for. Lots of lime slices and cilantro saved the day.

      The quality of the curry paste makes or brakes this recipe. I’d recommend you try using a high quality curry paste if possible (it is usually found in the international section of your super market). I hope this helps!☺️

    Made this tonight and everyone loved it. Great weeknight dinner with lots of flavor. Added the last of the summer basil and kale from the garden for some added veggies.

    This was so yummy!!! I used Fire Roasted Tomatoes , and a full can of very thick Coconut milk/cream.
    I did not add the shrimp until a few minutes before I was ready to eat. Shrimp overcooks onion seconds! This would also be delicious with cubed chicken breasts! Wonderfully flavourful dish. Thank You!
