👨🍳 Instructions:
- Cook the shrimp:
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink. Remove from the pan and set aside. - Prepare the curry base:
In the same pan, add the garlic, ginger, red bell pepper, and onion. Sauté for about 3–4 minutes, until softened and fragrant. - Add the coconut milk:
Pour in the coconut milk and stir in the curry powder. Let it simmer for 5–7 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the sauce to thicken slightly. - Combine shrimp and sauce:
Return the cooked shrimp to the pan, stirring gently to coat them with the curry sauce. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes, then add the lime juice and adjust seasoning if needed. - Garnish and serve:
Serve over steamed rice or with naan bread. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a wedge of lime.
💡 Pro Tip:
To make the curry extra rich, you can add a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter to the sauce for a creamy, nutty twist!
