Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 yellow onion (medium, finely diced)
• 4 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoon curry powder
• 14.5 ounce diced tomatoes (can, undrained)
• 13.5 ounce coconut milk (can, full-fat)
• 1 bell pepper (large, seeded, chopped)
• 1.25 pound shrimp (peeled, deveined)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cup basmati rice
• 4 cup water
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups uncooked basmati rice with 4 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is fluffy.
2. While the rice cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the finely diced yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
3. Stir in the minced garlic and grated fresh ginger and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add the curry powder and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until aromatic.
5. Pour in the can of diced tomatoes and full-fat coconut milk. Bring to a gentle simmer, then add the chopped bell pepper. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
6. Add the peeled and deveined large shrimp to the simmering sauce and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
7. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve the fragrant shrimp curry immediately over the cooked basmati rice, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro.
