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.

- Clean the shrimp properly: Devein and peel the shrimp, and remove the tails. Make sure to rinse the shrimp thoroughly before cooking.
- Use a good quality curry powder: A good curry powder will make all the difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for a curry powder that is made with a variety of spices, including turmeric, coriander, cumin, and fenugreek.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables: You can use any type of vegetables you like in your curried shrimp. Some popular choices include onions, peppers, carrots, and potatoes.
- Cook the shrimp until they are just cooked through: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes, until they are pink and opaque.
- Serve the curried shrimp with rice or naan bread: Curried shrimp is traditionally served with rice or naan bread. You can also serve it with other side dishes, such as roti, paratha, or steamed vegetables.
