Instructions
- Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel and season them with ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large high sided skillet over medium heat. Sear shrimp for 2 minutes per side and then transfer them to a plate; set aside.
- Add remaining two tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet. Once oil is warm, add the onion and saute for 4-5 minutes, or until tender and translucent. Stir in garlic, ginger, and lemongrass, and cook for 1 more minute.
- Add curry powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and red chili flakes. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add diced tomatoes to the skillet and scrape the bottom to release any browned bits. Next stir in coconut milk and the remaining ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
- Bring the curry just to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, to a gentle simmer. Add cooked shrimp and simmer for another 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp are warmed through.
