Ingredients​

For Shrimp Marinade​

• 1 pound extra-large shrimp peeled and deveined
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoon lemon juice

For the sauce​

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 medium onion chopped
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
• ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
• ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
• ½ teaspoon turmeric
• 2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 14½ ounce diced tomatoes
• 13½ ounce coconut milk
• 2 tablespoon cilantro for garnish (or parsley)
• cooked rice for serving

Instructions​

• In a small bowl toss the shrimp with the marinade ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
• While the shrimp is marinating, heat the oil in a medium size skillet. To it add the onion, and cook for 2 or 3 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent. Stir in the garlic, ginger, pepper, salt, coriander, turmeric and curry powder. Cook for another minute.
• Add the diced tomatoes with juices and all, the coconut milk, stir and bring to a boil. Cook for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Add the shrimp with the accumulated juices from the marinade and cook for another 2 minutes or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.
• Serve over hot rice and garnish with cilantro or parsley.

Notes​

1. Nutritional information does not include rice.
2. Curry should be safely sealed in an airtight container and refrigerated for 3 days.
3. If you want this curry to last, my advice is to freeze it where it will last for up to 3 months. Ensure that it is fully cooled before sealing and use a shallow container to ensure even freezing. Stir well while reheating.
