1 2-inch piece fresh peeled ginger, chopped

To Serve:
Directions
Prep all ingredients. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Let sit.
Heat a 4-5 quart high-sided pot or casserole on high heat. Add 2 Tbsp oil or ghee. When oil is hot, add onion and bell pepper. Stir. Add a little bit of salt. When onions are just soft and slightly translucent, add garlic and ginger. Reduce to low heat and cook another 2 minutes.
Add Goan Masala. Stir — do not let it stick! Add a little more oil or ghee if necessary. Stir and cook another 30-45 seconds until fragrant.
Add coconut milk and stock or water. Raise heat to medium/high, bring to a simmer, and reduce heat to low. Add salt and sugar. (If using shishito peppers, add those now and simmer for 5-7 minutes.) Add shrimp and cook for 2 minutes.
Serve immediately over rice. Garnish with cilantro, chilies and a squeeze of lime juice.
