Step 1

Start by melting some butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the shrimp and cook them just until they turn pink, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Once they're done, take the shrimp out and set them aside for now. Next, add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the same skillet and cook until they’re tender but still have a bit of crunch, around 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour, curry powder, salt, and pepper, then whisk everything together and let it cook for about a minute to get rid of the raw flour taste. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk while whisking, then keep cooking over medium heat until the sauce thickens up and starts bubbling. Stir the shrimp back into the skillet and heat through, stirring often so everything is nicely coated and warm. Serve this delicious curry right away over some steamed rice and enjoy!

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use fresh or thawed shrimp for the best texture and flavor.
- Toast the spices lightly before adding liquids to enhance their aroma.
- Stir the sauce gently to prevent the creamy ingredients from curdling.

Why you’ll love it

This dish combines sweet coconut flavors with a rich, creamy sauce that perfectly complements the tender shrimp. It’s both comforting and exotic, making it a great choice for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The balance of spices adds warmth without overwhelming the palate.

Serving ideas

Serve this curry over steamed jasmine rice or fluffy basmati to soak up the flavorful sauce. A side of lightly sautéed greens or a crisp cucumber salad will add freshness and balance to the meal.

Storage & leftovers

Keep leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid breaking the creaminess of the sauce. This dish is best enjoyed fresh but can be frozen for up to one month if needed.
