    How to make Indian shrimp curry

    This is a great recipe for making a healthy and delicious dinner after work! It is very simple to make and is ready to be served in only 30 minutes. Just follow these steps to make this Indian coconut shrimp curry that is rich in flavor and nutrients:

    1. Marinade shrimps: Simply add the shrimps, the spices and some avocado oil in a bowl and mix everything. Set aside until the shrimps are ready to be seared.
    2. Prepare the vegetables: Chop the bell pepper, grate the ginger and mince the garlic and chile pepper.
    3. Sear the shrimps and sauté the vegetables: Now you can sear the shrimps in a pot from both sides. When they are done, take them out of the pot and set them aside. Then, add the vegetables including the ginger and garlic to the pot and sauté everything.
    4. Simmer: Next, add all remaining ingredients to the pot and let everything simmer for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are soft enough. Add back the shrimps, add salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!

    These four steps are all it takes to whip up this wonderful Indian shrimp curry with coconut milk!

    Tips for you

    Here are some more tips for making this tasty coconut shrimp curry:

    • Use other vegetables: I love making this curry with red bell pepper and sugar snap peas, but you can add more or other vegetables to the recipe! I actually love to make this curry to clean the refrigerator a bit by using any leftover vegetables! Just be creative and add the vegetables you love.
    • Serve with rice: This shrimp curry tastes great with Basmati rice or any other type of rice. Just make the rice first so that it is ready when the curry has cooked.
    • Add more chile pepper: The recipe is mild enough for people that usually don’t eat a lot of spicy foods. So, if you want it spicier then simply add more chile pepper.

    Storage tips

    I would totally suggest making a few extra servings when you cook the recipe, as it is perfect for meal prepping! You can store it in:

    • The refrigerator: The curry stays fresh for up to 3 days if stored in the refrigerator.
    • The freezer: The curry can be stored in the freezer for 2-3 months. This is my preferred method since it lasts a lot longer and tastes as delicious when defrosted and warmed up!
