Ingredients:
1 lb peeled, deveined shrimp
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 onion diced
Roasted Garlic Avocado Oil
1 Tbl Madras Curry Powder
1 Tbl flour (optional
1 can petite diced tomatoes
1 can coconut milk
1-2 cups stock (see note)
1/4 tsp Garam Masala
Salt, to taste-try our Hot Curry Salt!
Parsley, chives or cilantro for garnish
Aleppo Chile Flakes for garnish
Cooked rice for serving
Directions:
In a bowl, combine the shrimp with the baking soda. This step helps keep the shrimp from getting mushy. Set aside. Heat a pot over medium heat. Drizzle in the Roasted Garlic Avocado Oil to cover the bottom of the pot. Add in the diced onion. Cook until softened and translucent-about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the Madras Curry Powder and stir to form a paste with the onions. Cook for two minutes or until fragrant.
Optional: Sprinkle the flour over the onions if you'd like a thicker curry "gravy." Stir until the flour is absorbed and cook for about two minutes. (You are essentially creating a roux at this point.)
Add in the canned tomatoes, coconut milk and stock. Add the entire two cups for a "soupier" curry. Add only 1 cup for a thicker, stew-like curry. (At this point, you could add some "stretch" add ins: canned chickpeas or a diced sweet potato.) Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Add the shrimp and Garam Masala. Reduce the heat to low-you want to gently poach the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp are opaque pink, firm to the touch and completely cooked through-about 8 minutes. Taste and adjust with salt if needed. Serve over rice and garnish with parsley, chives and/or cilantro and a sprinkle of Aleppo Chile Flakes.
