How to Make Shrimp In Coconut Milk

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined), 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1-2 red chilies, finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference). Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turns pinkish.
  4. Pour in 1 (13.5 ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk, 1 medium bell pepper (any color), chopped, and 1 medium tomato, chopped. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional) and serve hot over steamed white rice.
