How to Make Coconut Prawn Shrimp Curry

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds and 10 curry leaves. Stir until the seeds begin to pop (about 30 seconds).
  3. Add 1 medium onion (finely chopped) and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened and lightly browned.
  4. Add 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 inch ginger (grated), 1-2 green chilies (finely chopped, adjust to taste), 1 medium tomato (finely chopped), and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder.
  5. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons of curry masala and fry for 30 seconds.
  7. Gradually add 1 can (13.5 oz) of coconut milk, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  8. Reduce heat to medium-low, add 1 pound of prawns (shrimp, peeled and deveined), and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until pink and cooked through. Do not overcook.
  9. Season with salt to taste. Garnish with fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves before serving. Serve hot with rice or naan bread.
