This easy Shrimp Curry recipe combines elements of Thai and Indian curries for a uniquely delicious weeknight meal. So quick and easy!

Ingredients

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound small to medium size shrimp, peeled and deveined (I like to use 25-30 count shrimp)
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
¾ teaspoon black pepper, divided
½ cup diced yellow onion
2 teaspoons grated garlic
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 teaspoon grated lemongrass
1 teaspoon yellow curry powder
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup full-fat coconut milk
rice, cilantro, and fresh lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel and season them with ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large high sided skillet over medium heat. Sear shrimp for 2 minutes per side and then transfer them to a plate; set aside.
Add remaining two tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet. Once oil is warm, add the onion and saute for 4-5 minutes, or until tender and translucent. Stir in garlic, ginger, and lemongrass, and cook for 1 more minute.
Add curry powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and red chili flakes. Cook for 1 minute.
Add diced tomatoes to the skillet and scrape the bottom to release any browned bits. Next stir in coconut milk and the remaining ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
Bring the curry just to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, to a gentle simmer. Add cooked shrimp and simmer for another 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp are warmed through.
Serve shrimp curry over rice, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Store any leftover curry in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
