Shrimp Curry Recipe
This shrimp curry is easy to make and is ready to serve in just over 30 minutes, making it perfect for a busy weeknight meal. To make it:
Toss the shrimp and lime juice in a bowl and let sit for a few minutes while you’re gathering the other ingredients. Heat ghee or oil in large saucepan over medium heat and fry the shrimp for about 2 minutes on each side until opaque, then transfer to a plate and set aside. Add the onion to the skillet and cook until soft and translucent, 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Add the seasonings and cook for another minute. Add the tomatoes, coconut milk, chicken broth, and mango chutney. Bring it to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add salt and more lime juice to taste. Discard bay leaf. Stir in cornstarch slurry and simmer for a minute or until the sauce is slightly thickened. Add the shrimp and heat through.
Serve this delicious shrimp curry with steamed jasmine or basmati rice, fresh naan bread, and garnish with cilantro. For something refreshing, serve this with a Mango Lassi. Enjoy!
