Instructions

First, chop the carrot, bell pepper and onion. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
Heat a pot over medium heat using some avocado oil. Then, sear the shrimps from both sides until they are cooked through. Take them out of the pot and set aside.
Now, add some more avocado oil to the pot. Add the onion, garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Next, add the carrot slices and sauté until they slightly start to soften. Then, add the bell pepper and curry paste. Sauté everything for 1-2 minutes.
Add the coconut milk and spices (including salt and pepper) to the pot, stir everything, cover the pot and let the curry simmer for 10 minutes. Add back the shrimps, simmer for 1 minute and serve the curry.

Notes

• Make sure you don't overcook the shrimps! Cook time varies depending on the size of the shrimps. Aim for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-sized shrimps.
