- Chop the ginger and garlic with two tablespoons of water in a spice chopper until they become a paste.
- Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or a cooking pan, and fry the chopped onion until it becomes translucent and lightly golden.
- Add the dry spices, ginger garlic paste, and stir-fry until the spices release an aroma.
- Pour in the coconut milk, salt, and tamarind paste (lemon juice). Cook at medium-high heat until the coconut milk thickens and shiny. You can put the lid on if you want.

Notes
- Make sure you shake the coconut milk can before using it so it can emulsify with spices quickly.
- Keep an eye on the shrimp when cooking. Do not overcook. Turn the heat off as soon as they all turn opaque. Otherwise, they will become hard and rubbery.
