HOW TO MAKE KETO COCONUT SHRIMP CURRY?
This low carb shrimp/prawn curry recipe is really easy to make. Incredibly delicious and flavorful dinner for the whole family!
Here are the most important steps to make it so delicious!
Fry spice coated shrimp!
Prepare curry spice mix of garam masala, cumin, turmeric, curry powder, chili powder or flakes, salt and pepper. With that mixture of spices, coat the shrimp/prawns and fry them on a hot coconut oil. You want it to be browned because that's where the flavor is!
Sauté onion and garlic!
First cook finely diced onion until golden brown and caramelized, add minced garlic and continue to cook until release the flavor. Don't cook it for too long, garlic tends to burn fast.
When onion and garlic are prepared, add crushed tomato or passata, canned coconut milk and all the spices and salt.
Stir well and simmer just until slightly thickened for 3 to 5 minutes. Then add shrimp and cook for 2 minutes more.
Immediately take off the heat, garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped spring onion and serve. Serve with steamed veggies or with cauliflower rice for low carb version or with another side dish you like.
