Pineapple Prawn Curry by myheartbeets.com

Pineapple shrimp curry is sweet, savory and delicious! It’s the perfect summer meal: quick to make, light and refreshing!

Sweet pineapple perfectly balances the spices in this Indian-inspired shrimp curry. You can serve it with steamy basmati rice, matta rice, cauli-rice, or eat it by itself.

This pineapple shrimp curry calls for fresh curry leaves, an ingredient typically used in South Indian cuisine. While this is more of a fusion recipe, it is inspired by the cuisine in Kerala. For those who don’t know, Kerala is a south Indian coastal state where the seafood is abundant as are tropical fruits. I love the way curry leaves pair with pineapple in this recipe; they add a unique aroma and flavor and there really is no substitute.

Make sure to garnish this shrimp curry with some fresh diced pineapple – it’ll make the dish look and taste extra special. Serve with basmati rice and a side of green veggies and you’ve got a perfect summer meal!

    Loved this! Used one can of blended crushed pineapple (in pineapple juice) and it was very quick and easy. Not spicy at Allison good for children and guests but had to add some chilies for my husband

      Hi Radhika, that’s a great question – I’m actually not sure and will measure the next time I make this but according to google it looks like 4.5 cups of pineapple cubes. Hope that helps! Let me know what you think of it 🙂
