Steps:
- Season shrimp with 1 Tablespoon of curry powder and all-purpose seasoning and set aside for about 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients like chopping your onions, peppers, and garlic.
- Heat 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced yellow onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, scotch bonnet pepper, if using, and chopped garlic and stir for 5 minutes, until peppers are slightly softened.
- Add 1.5 Tablespoons of curry powder to the skillet and stir for an additional minute.
- Then add coconut milk, seasoned shrimp, ketchup, and thyme, making sure the shrimp is covered in the sauce.
- Allow the sauce to come to a simmer and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally and flipping the shrimp halfway, until the shrimp is fully cooked on both sides. This should take about 5-6 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.

THE ORIGIANL COCO LOPEZ BUSHWACKER
All of the variations of this drink are delicious! But, as a Pensacola native, this is a bushwacker to me. This recipe is copied straight from my Coco Lopez Bushwacker cup before the writing wore off! This also seems to have ingrediants that are always on hand (or at least in my house). We usually always make this a double recipe. When doubling, a ripe banana add to the mix is delicous!

Steps:
- Whisk cream of coconut and fresh lime juice in small bowl until smooth. Stir in green onions, curry powder, cayenne pepper and salt. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
- Brush half of sauce over chicken or seafood before and during grilling. Pass remaining sauce separately.
Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will give your curry the best flavor. If you can't find fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp will also work, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a good quality curry powder: The curry powder is the key ingredient in this dish, so be sure to use a good quality one. Look for a curry powder that is made with a variety of spices, including cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the spices: This recipe is a good starting point, but you can adjust the spices to your liking. If you like a milder curry, reduce the amount of chili powder. If you like a spicier curry, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper.
- Serve with your favorite sides: This curry can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, roti, or naan bread. You can also serve it with a side of yogurt or chutney.
