This Easy Shrimp Curry is a quick, flavorful dish that combines tender shrimp with a creamy coconut curry sauce. Aromatic spices like curry powder, ginger, and garlic infuse the dish with depth, while the coconut cream adds a rich, comforting texture. Perfect for busy weeknights, this dish can be served with steamed rice or naan for a satisfying meal that’s both savory and mildly spicy.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, minced

2 tablespoons curry powder

1 cup fish broth

3/4 cup canned diced tomatoes, blended

1/3 cup coconut cream

1 1/2 pounds shrimp, tails removed

Instructions

  • Sauté the Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent.

  • Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  • Add Curry Powder: Sprinkle curry powder into the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the spices to release their flavor.

  • Add Liquids: Pour in fish broth and blended tomatoes. Stir to combine, bring to a simmer, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  • Add Coconut Cream: Stir in coconut cream and cook for 2-3 more minutes until smooth and creamy.

  • Cook the Shrimp: Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until opaque and cooked through.

  • Serve: Remove from heat and serve the curry over steamed rice, naan, or enjoy on its own.

Notes

Vegetarian Version: Replace shrimp with tofu, chickpeas, or vegetables like cauliflower or bell peppers for a vegetarian curry.

Spicy Version: Add chopped chili peppers or a pinch of cayenne pepper to increase the heat.

Creamier Texture: Add more coconut cream or a splash of heavy cream for a richer sauce.
