How to Make Shrimp And Squash Curry

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, until softened (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
  4. Cover and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add 1 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  6. Add 1 pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed, to the wok. Cover and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a splash more water if needed to prevent sticking.
  7. Return the shrimp to the wok. Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh coriander leaves. Cook for another minute to heat through.
  8. Serve hot over steamed rice. Garnish with extra coriander leaves if desired.
