Delicious curry with fresh spicy flavours - ideal for part of a relaxed curry buffet meal. Can also be made with chicken. The sauce can be frozen then reheated with frozen shrimp until all is piping hot.
Ingredients:
2 onions, sliced
1 tablespoon fresh gingerroot, grated
4 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 tablespoon ground coriander
14 ounces chopped tomatoes, in rich juice
4 ounces creamed coconut, chopped
2 green chili peppers, halved, deseeded and sliced at an angle
salt and pepper
14 ounces shrimp, large, raw and peeled, thawed if frozen, drained
2 ounces cilantro, chopped
1 lemon, juice
Directions:
1. Fry the onions, ginger and garlic in the oil for about 10 minutes
2. Stir in the turmeric and coriander, then fry for 1 min more.
3. Tip the mixture into a blender with the tomatoes and creamed coconut, then blend to a paste.
4. Return to the pan with 1 1/4 cups of water and the chilis and simmer for 10 minutes
5. You can freeze it at this stage.
6. Stir in the shrimp and cook for a few mins more until they turn pink - take care not to overcook them or they'll become tough.
7. Add the cilantro, then season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice just before serving.
