Instructions
- Clean and pat dry the raw, thawed shrimp. Chop the onions, jalapeños, red peppers. Mince the garlic and ginger. Heat the oil in a large skillet or non stick pan, add the onions, jalapeños and red peppers. Sauté until peppers start to sweat and soften, onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add in the garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 2 more minutes. Add all the seasonings and canned tomatoes. Bring to a light simmer. Once it's simmering, add to a high speed blender or food processor and blitz it all together until it's a smooth red sauce. Set aside. Start rice/noodles or whatever you want to serve with this dish.
- Wipe the skillet or pan with a paper towel, add olive oil and bring to medium/high heat. Add the shrimp, a pinch of salt and pepper and sauté for about 2 minutes. Add the red sauce over the shrimp, followed by the coconut milk. Let the coconut curry come to a simmer for about 4-5 minutes to let the shrimp fully cook.
- Chop up the cilantro. Serve the rice with shrimp coconut curry sauce over it, garnish with cilantro and enjoy!
Notes
*add extra for more heat, add less for more mild
*add more or less depending on level of heat
*light coconut milk will also work, however there won't be as much richness to the sauce.
