Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons coconut oil
½ yellow onion (finely diced)
1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
1 teaspoon garlic (grated)
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon garam masala (optional, Note 2)
½ teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 cup tomato sauce (or plain passata)
1 cup coconut milk (fresh or canned)
1 teaspoon brown sugar
Salt and pepper
1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined, I used 31-35 count)
1 teaspoon lime juice
A few mint leaves and cilantro leaves (for garnish)
Lime wedges (for garnish)
Cooked jasmine or basmati rice
Naan bread

Steps:

  • In a stainless steel skillet (see Note 1), heat the coconut oil, saute the onion, and ginger until soft and the onion is translucent (2 minutes). Add the garlic, and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the spices, and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the tomato sauce followed by the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer then cook for a couple of minutes until you get a smooth homogenous sauce.
  • To the sauce, add the brown sugar and season with salt and pepper.
  • Drop the shrimp in the curry sauce, and cook for 2-3 minutes then remove from heat as soon as the shrimp is no longer opaque (be careful not to overcook it). Shrimp is easy to overcook so keep an eye on it before it curls too much.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro leaves, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Serve over warm white rice and naan bread.
