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

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.
