Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of spices and herbs enhances their flavor and prevents them from becoming dry during cooking.
Use a flavorful curry paste or powder: The curry paste or powder is the backbone of the dish, so choose one that you enjoy the flavor of. You can find a variety of curry pastes and powders at most grocery stores.
Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level: If you like your curry spicy, add more chili pepper or cayenne pepper to taste. If you prefer a milder curry, reduce the amount of chili pepper or omit it altogether.
Serve the curry with your favorite sides: Rice, roti, or naan are all great options for serving with Barbados shrimp curry.
