• No matter what kind of shrimp you start out with, cooked or raw, place peeled shrimp and curry paste in a bowl and, using your hands, rub shrimp with curry to evenly coat; it is important that you've dried the shrimp well so the curry paste sticks.
• Core tomatoes, slice in half, then squeeze out and discard juice and seeds.
• Coarsely chop tomatoes and set aside.
• If using raw shrimp: place a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and, when hot, add shrimp.
• Stir-fry just until shrimp are a bright coral colour (this will only take 3 to 4 minutes); if shrimp stick, add a wee amount of butter to pan.
• If using frozen or fresh precooked shrimp: stir-fry only for 2 minutes, just until shrimp are heated through.
• Remove shrimp from pan and set aside; cover with foil to keep warm.
• Add tomatoes to pan and pour in cream; bring to a boil.
