Shrimp Curry

Here's something I made for supper last night. This is a favourite for my husband and I :) It's super simple to make, light on the oil, and still really tasty!


Ingredients:
250g/8oz frozen shrimp OR as much as desired
2 tbsp oil
1/4 tsp red chilli paste
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
2 cans coconut milk
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
1/2 tsp sugar
4-5 cherry tomatoes or 1 regular tomato diced
2 tbsp lemon juice

Directions:
1. Clean the shrimp
2. Heat the oil in a shallow pan medium heat; stir in the red chilli paste and turmeric powder and fry for 1-2 minutes or till the oil seperates.
3. Add 1 can of coconut milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Lower the heat to medium and simmer for 5-7 minutes. Add salt and sugar and the 2nd can of coconut milk. Boil for 3-4 minutes on medium heat.
4. Add the shrimp and tomatoes; simmer until the shrimp is cooked and the gravy becomes thick. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
5. Serve hot with rice or roti (bread)
