Thai Shrimp Curry

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 onion
• 1 tsp ginger
• 2 tsp Thai red curry paste
• 400 g canned chopped tomatoes
• 50 g coconut cream
• 400 g raw shrimp
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro (optional)
• 4 servings cooked rice (optional)

Steps

1. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and ginger, cooking for a few minutes until softened.
2. Stir in the Thai red curry paste and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
3. Pour in the chopped tomatoes and coconut cream. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, adding a splash of boiling water if it becomes too thick.
4. Add the shrimp to the simmering curry and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
5. Serve the curry hot, ideally with plain rice, and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro if desired.
