Goan Shrimp Curry or Goan Prawn Curry

"Goan Shrimp Curry", is a non-vegeterian curry from Goa, the western coast of India. To be said in a simple way, Shrimp in Coconut Curry (Sauce).

It can be had with plain rice and Indian flat breads.

We can find various versions of this Goan Shrimp Curry. Many would use tamarind for the sour taste. I have used tomatoes instead.

Preparation

Marinate the de-veined Shrimp with turmeric powder and little salt.

Grind the items given in To Grind section to a fine paste.

Heat Oil in a Kadai and add items given in To Season. Now add the grinded paste and saute till the raw smell is off. Add Coconut milk to the cooked paste and cook it in low flame.

Once you see the bubbles in the coconut sauce, add salt and the de-veined shrimp. Shrimps are very soft and it gets cooked in a very less time. See to it that you don't cook the shrimp in the coconut curry for more than 5 minutes.

Add finely chopped green chillies.
