Ingredients
- 1 pound of thawed medium to large shrimp peeled, deveined, tail-off
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 red onions approx 1 pound total, diced
- 5 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons minced ginger
- ½ teaspoon minced green chili
- 15 curry leaves
- 2 dried red chilies
- 1 tomato approx 8 ounces, chopped
- ¼ cup water
Spices:
- 3 teaspoons coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon meat masala
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne to taste
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
Instructions
- Add the shrimp, paprika, turmeric, salt to a bowl and mix well.
- Heat coconut oil in a dutch oven over medium heat, then add half the shrimp (or as many as you can fit in a single layer). Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to develop a browned crust, then flip over and cook until done. Remove the shrimp and set it aside for now. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
- Add onions and stir occasionally for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the onions look golden brown. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to remove any burned bits as you stir.
- Add the garlic, ginger, green chilli, curry leaves, and dried red chillies and stir-fry for 2 minutes, then add the tomato and stir-fry for 5 minutes or until softened (this is a good time to scrape the bottom if needed).
- Add the spices and mix well. Then add the water, cover the pot with a lid, and cook for 2 minutes.
- Remove the lid, and stir-fry for 2 minutes to dry any moisture in the pot, then add the vinegar and shrimp and mix well.
