Easy Indian Curry Shrimp

Easy Indian Curry Shrimp

I love everything about this meal! It's creamy, flavorful and so easy to make! This recipe really cures my craving for delicious Indian food! I always serve this with a scoop of cooked jasmine or basmati rice...so aromatic and scrumptious!

This recipe can also be made with chicken instead of shrimp.

1 Tbls. sugar - white or brown
1-16 oz. can of coconut milk - I use lite

DIRECTIONS:
1. Mix the oil, curry powder, garlic, ginger and onion in a mixing bowl
to create a sort of paste.

2. Place a 5 quart pan or a large sauté pan over medium heat and 
cook the paste just until fragrant, 3-4 minutes.

3. Add the chopped green chilies, coconut milk and sugar,
stirring to mix and dissolve the paste. Bring to a slow rolling boil.
Taste the sauce and add salt & pepper according to taste.

4. Stir in the chopped tomato.

5. Cover and reduce to a light simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6. Add in the shrimp and simmer for another 10 minutes.
Top with the fresh parsley before serving.

If serving with a cup of cooked rice per person, this recipe can serve 4 people.
