How to Make Shrimp Curry

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 large chopped onion, 4 cloves minced garlic, and 1 inch grated ginger. Sauté for 5 minutes, until softened.
  2. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 3 tablespoons curry powder, 2 bay leaves, 2 star anise, 1 crushed cardamom pod, 1 cinnamon stick, and 1 teaspoon cumin seeds. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
  3. Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 2 cups chicken stock. Stir well to combine.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, or longer for a deeper flavor. The longer it simmers, the more the spices will meld.
  5. Stir in 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Increase heat to medium-high. Add 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
