Ingredients
- 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and de-veined
- 2 cups chicken or shrimp stock or water
- 1 can (13.5 oz) unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 large white onion, sliced thin
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced thin
- 1 2-inch piece fresh peeled ginger, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- ¼ cup FC + B&B Goan Masala
- 2-3 Tbsp cooking oil (or ghee)
- 2 Tbsp kosher salt*
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 qt shishito peppers, whole (optional)
To Serve:
- Cooked Basmati or other white rice
- 1 green chili, sliced thin
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, sliced thin
- ½ fresh lime
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.
