Chipotle peppers in Adobe sauce add a Smokey spin to this easy shrimp curry. This is a creamy, comforting, curry that makes for a delicious and filling dinner when served with some rice or roti.

Ingredients

  • olive oil to saute onions about 2 tbsp
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 inch piece of fresh ginger root
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 3 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 lb shrimp de-veined
  • 2 chipotle peppers in 2 tbsp of adobo sauce and
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • cilantro / parsley / chili flakes to garnish

Instructions

  • First off, prep the onion, ginger, garlic by peeling them and then chopping the onion and either chopping the ginger and garlic or using a microplane grater to grate the ginger and garlic.
  • Then, add olive oil to a pan over medium heat and add the chopped onion and saute it for about 10 minutes - stirring often.
  • Then add in the chopped / grated ginger and garlic and saute about 5 minutes,
  • Add in the coriander, turmeric, cumin, smoked paprika, coconut milk, and 2 chipotle peppers in 2 tbsp of adobo sauce and stir well.
  • Add in the shrimp and stir until shrimp is cooked - should be about 5-6 minutes as it simmers in that sauce.
  • Remove from heat, season with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley/cilantro and chili flakes and enjoy with rice or roti.

Notes

TIP: If you would like to really infuse the garlic and ginger into this curry, grab a micro-plane grater and after you peel the garlic and ginger, grate them into the sauteing onions.
