Best 6 Curried Shrimp With Coconut Milk And Spiced Masala Recipes

COCONUT SHRIMP CURRY

Steps:

• In a stainless steel skillet (see Note 1), heat the coconut oil, saute the onion, and ginger until soft and the onion is translucent (2 minutes). Add the garlic, and cook for 30 seconds.
• Add the spices, and cook for 30 seconds.
• Add the tomato sauce followed by the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer then cook for a couple of minutes until you get a smooth homogenous sauce.
• To the sauce, add the brown sugar and season with salt and pepper.
• Drop the shrimp in the curry sauce, and cook for 2-3 minutes then remove from heat as soon as the shrimp is no longer opaque (be careful not to overcook it). Shrimp is easy to overcook so keep an eye on it before it curls too much.
• Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro leaves, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Serve over warm white rice and naan bread.

SHRIMP COCONUT CURRY

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds. As soon as they begin to sputter, add the curry leaves, onions and ginger; saute until the onions are golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low. Add the chili powder, sambar masala, 1/4 teaspoon of the turmeric and some salt and saute for 1 minute. Add the coconut milk and simmer until the mixture is slightly thickened and has turned a deeper shade of gold, about 5 minutes.
• Pat dry the shrimp. Combine the remaining 1/4 teaspoon turmeric and some salt in a medium bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Heat the remaining tablespoon vegetable oil in a second large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook, tossing occasionally, until pink, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the shrimp to the coconut curry. Serve over rice.

• Stir in shrimp, and increase heat to medium-high. Cook and stir until shrimp is cooked through, about 4 minutes.

TAMARIND SHRIMP WITH COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Combine masala, salt and tamarind paste in a medium bowl. Add shrimp and toss them with the mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours. Do not overmarinate, as the acidic tamarind will make the shrimp rubbery after 2 hours' contact.
• Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add shrimp in a single layer. Reserve any excess marinade. Sear the shrimp for 30 seconds to 1 minute per side.
• Pour coconut milk and any residual marinade over shrimp, add curry leaves and stir once or twice. Cook curry uncovered, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are salmon-orange and curled but still tender and the sauce is slightly thick, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve immediately.
