How to Make Shrimp With Spiced Masala And Coconut Milk

  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until deep golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and all spices. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Let the onion mixture cool slightly to lukewarm.
  5. In a food processor, puree the canned tomatoes (undrained) and yogurt until almost smooth.
  6. Add the cooled onion mixture to the tomato-yogurt puree and blend until almost smooth.
  7. Season the masala with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil in a heavy large deep skillet over medium-high heat.
  9. Add the shrimp and sauté until partially cooked, about 2 minutes per side.
  10. Stir in the coconut milk, cilantro, green onions, lemon juice, and prepared masala.
  11. Simmer for about 3 minutes, or until the shrimp is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  12. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  13. Serve the shrimp masala over the cooked basmati rice and garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.
