Authentic Sri Lankan Prawn Curry (Shrimp Curry)

shrimp

salt

¼ tsp Sri Lankan Curry Powder

tbsp coconut oil (or neutral oil)

garlic

ginger (finely chopped)

onion (red onion or sweet onion, finely chopped)

tbsp unroasted Sri Lankan Curry Powder

fennel

cayenne pepper

tsp regular paprika

½ tsp ground black pepper

curry leaves (karapincha)

pandan leaves (rampe)

coconut milk

water + ¼ cup

red chili peppers (or 1 tbsp sambal oelek)

tbsp lemon / lime juice

½ tsp sugar (optional)

Clean the shrimp / prawns by removing the heads and setting them aside. Peel the shell, leaving the tails intact and devein the shrimp (remove the intestinal tract). For a detailed video on cleaning shrimp, please visit this post.

Rinse the shrimp and shrimp heads separately.

Sprinkle the salt and curry powder over the shrimp and mix well and set aside to marinate while you cook the curry base.

Preparing the Shrimp / Prawns

Heat a saucepan or pan over medium high heat, and add the coconut oil. Once it's hot, add the shrimp heads to the pan (it will sizzle and splatter, so be careful). Cook the shrimp heads for about 5 -10 minutes until the heads become crispy and slightly caramelized in spots. Add the onion, ginger, garlic, a generous pinch of salt and reduce the heat to medium and cook the shrimp heads until they soften - a few minutes.

Add the curry powder, fennel powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, curry leaves (rampe leaves) and saute, while mixing frequently for about 5 minutes, until the spices are fragrant and have formed a paste with the onion, garlic and ginger.

Add the coconut milk,⅓ cup water, fresh red chili pepper, sugar and lemon or lime juice and stir to combine. Bring the mix to a boil. Cover and simmer for about 10 - 15 minutes until the mixture is thick and dark red in color.

Add the peeled shrimp into the gravy base and gently mix to combine and completely coat the shrimp with the gravy/sauce. Add the ¼ cup of water if the gravy is too thick, or you would like more gravy. While gently stirring, bring the mix to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes further, or just until the shrimp is cooked through and is nice and pink. Taste and season with salt if needed.

Turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid and let the shrimp sit in the gravy for a few minutes.

Sprinkle chopped cilantro (optional) on top, and serve with rice or roti. Enjoy!

When the garlic is lightly roasted add curry leaves and saute till they turn crisp.

Pour the ground mixture and add water or coconut milk only if needed.

Bring the gravy to a boil and cook on a medium flame until the gravy thickens and you see traces of oil on top.

Add the prawns to the gravy and cook until they swirl up to C shape.  Or Alternately you can also saute the prawns in a small pan just for about 2 minutes and add to the gravy.

Do not overcook they turn hard.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok on medium heat. Add the red curry paste and cook for 30 seconds.

Stir in coconut milk, lemongrass and brown sugar. Stir to combine. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.

Add the prawns, snap peas (or green beans), and bell peppers. Cook uncovered for 4-5 minutes until prawns are cooked.

Take the wok off heat and add the fish sauce, lime juice and basil leaves. Let it rest for 5 minutes and serve with rice or noodles, and lime wedges on the side.

Be sure to use Thai (holy) basil and not the usual basil you may have laying around to get the proper flavor! Also squash would be a great option too!

Just so delicious and really easy to make.

Made this last night for supper with the coconut rice. Thought it would be a change from my usual Thai green curry dish and boiled rice  - so glad 😀 I did! Clean plates all round and my son said it was ‘absolutely scrumptious’.  Easy, healthy and tasted amazing. Few substitutions with veggies (using what I had lurking in fridge) but otherwise stuck to recipe! Thank you 🙏🏻 A new favourite for sure 😉
