Steps

1. 1

   If your shrimp is frozen, soak it in cold water before beginning. The shrimp will cook in the coconut milk, so complete defrosting is not necessary.

2. 2

   Begin by heating a saucepan over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions in oil until they become soft, which should take around 5 minutes. Introduce the shrimp and Curry Powder into the pan, cooking for a minute or two while stirring to avoid any sticking. Toss in the snow peas and tomatoes, cooking for a couple of minutes before flipping the shrimp to ensure even cooking on both sides. Once the shrimp turn mostly pink, pour in the coconut milk, salt, and either lemon or lime juice, allowing it to come to a simmer. Mix in cilantro or basil before seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Serve this dish piping hot for maximum enjoyment.

3. 3

   Enhance the flavor profile of the dish by incorporating one or two Keiffer lime leaves along with the Curry Powder. This will introduce a subtle yet unique taste to the recipe.
