How to Make Rum Shrimp Curry

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 pound shrimp, 2 tablespoons dark rum, and 1 teaspoon Cajun spice powder.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the shrimp mixture and marinate for 15 minutes.
  3. While the shrimp marinates, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, until softened (about 5 minutes).
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste and 1/2 cup water. Cook and stir until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  5. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, reserving the marinade.
  6. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, and the reserved shrimp marinade to the skillet. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  7. Gently add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until pink and cooked through. Do not overcook!
  8. Serve the Rum Shrimp Curry hot over cooked jasmine rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro or lime wedges (optional).
