Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Coconut Curry Shrimp.
Step 1
To start your delicious shrimp dish, grab a large nonstick saucepan and warm up some canola oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the minced onion, vibrant red bell pepper, and fragrant garlic.
Step 3
Sauté these colorful veggies for about three minutes, or until they soften and fill your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 4
Next, sprinkle in the ground cumin, ground coriander, and curry powder, stirring them in for an additional minute to awaken their rich flavors.
Step 5
Now it’s time to add a splash of light coconut milk, along with a touch of sugar and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
Step 6
Bring this enticing mixture to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer uncovered for two minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 7
Now, let’s introduce the star of the show: the shrimp! Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the saucepan and crank the heat up to medium-high.
Step 8
Cook and stir for about four minutes, or until the shrimp turn a lovely pink and are fully cooked through.
Step 9
To give your sauce a perfect velvety texture, mix one tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 10
Stir this mixture into your shrimp sauce and let it cook for another minute, watching as it thickens into a luscious coating.
Step 11
Finally, remove the saucepan from the heat and fold in some freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of freshness.
Step 12
Serve this delightful dish warm, and enjoy the wonderful flavors you’ve created!.
