Instructions
- Begin by heating the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes tender and translucent.
- Incorporate the curry powder, whole cloves, and sliced chili peppers into the pan, stirring frequently until the mixture becomes fragrant, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the coconut milk, followed by the shrimp, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients.
- Allow the mixture to simmer, carefully watching for the shrimp to turn a beautiful pink color, which signifies they are fully cooked. This should take just a few minutes.
- For an even cooking experience, lay the shrimp in a single layer, turning each one over as they cook through. This method ensures they are all perfectly done by the time you’re finished.
- Once cooked, remove the pan from heat and serve the shrimp in curried coconut milk over a bed of fluffy rice, letting the rich sauce soak into the grains for an ultimate flavor experience.
Enjoy this easy yet tantalizing dish that’s sure to be a hit at your dinner table!
