Notes
- Substitutions:
- Substitutions:
- Shrimp - If using frozen shrimp, remove shrimp from the freezer and add to a bowl. Cover with cool water and let sit for 15 minutes to dethaw. Or run running cool water over shrimp in a colander for 5 minutes to dethaw.
- Coconut Milk - Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer, creamier sauce.
- Spices - You can also use all curry powder in this dish if that's all you have, while it's best with all garam masala, it is still delicious with just curry powder.
- Fish Sauce - Optional. It adds an umami flavor that enhances the shrimp but it can be omitted.
- Ginger - Use 1 teaspoon of powdered ginger for 1 tablespoon of fresh. Add it with the other spices.
