Ingredients

• 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1.5 tablespoons curry powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or coconut oil)
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup water (optional, to thin the sauce)
• 0 optional steamed rice or naan (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until soft and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle the curry powder, turmeric, and paprika over the onions, stirring constantly to toast the spices for about 1 minute.

Step 5

Reduce the heat slightly and pour in the coconut milk. Stir well to combine and let it simmer gently for 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add up to 1/4 cup of water to thin it out.

Step 7

Add the shrimp to the skillet, ensuring they are evenly coated with the sauce. Cook for 4-6 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lime juice.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice or naan bread.
