- 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.

EASY CURRIED SHRIMP
This is my mom's recipe - it's very quick to make. I used to make this in college every Friday during Lent. You can make the curry start to finish in the time it takes the rice to cook. The amount of curry and ginger is the starting amount; I use up to twice that much, but adjust it to taste.
