Creating Jamaican Curry Shrimp is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
3. Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Vegetables: Toss in the chopped bell pepper and diced tomato. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
5. Add Curry Powder: Sprinkle in the curry powder, stirring well to coat the vegetables in spices. Cook for about 1 minute to release the flavors.
6. Pour in Coconut Milk: Add the coconut milk and vegetable (or chicken) broth to the pan. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
7. Add Shrimp: Gently add the shrimp to the pan. Cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 5-7 minutes.
8. Flavor with Soy Sauce: Stir in the soy sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for another 2-3 minutes to enhance the flavors.
9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped green onions and fresh cilantro if desired.
