Easy One Pan Coconut Curry Shrimp
This Easy One Pan Coconut Curry Shrimp is the perfect easy healthy weeknight meal served over rice! Make it dairy-free and with fresh or frozen shrimp!
Recipe: Ingredients
- 24-30 large shrimp fresh or thawed from frozen, tails and shells removed (optional)
- 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
- 1 can diced tomatoes approximately 400 grams or 15 ounces
- 1 small can coconut milk approximately 165 ml or 5.5 ounces
- fresh cilantro for garnish, if desired
Recipe: 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.

Thanks!
What a great idea for dinner tonight! My family will love it!
I sure hope so!
Amazing!!
Thanks for your comment Veronica!!
Could I do this same recipe with chicken breasts instead of shrimp?
Yes! Just be sure you cook the chicken through to the recommended temperature!
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!☺️
Absolutely delicious!!
Thank you for the recipe. Will try as soon as I get the ingredients.
You’re welcome!! Let us know how the recipe turns out!
This was so good!
Thanks Lori!!
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.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Your additions sound great ☺️
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!
I am so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback!
