Ingredients

2 lbs shrimp small, shelled, deveined, rinsed, and drained
6 tbs green seasoning divided
1 small onion thinly sliced, divided
1 tbs minced garlic minced (if green seasoning does not have enough garlic)
Hot pepper optional, sliced
1 tomato optional, chopped
Salt 1-2 tsp, to taste
½ tsp black pepper
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 tbsp curry powder
1 tsp turmeric powder

Instructions

Make green seasoning if you do not have on hand, and set aside
Season shrimp with 4 tbs green seasoning, 1/2 of the onion, salt, tomato, if using, and black pepper.
Heat oil over medium heat, add remaining sliced onion and hot pepper and cook until until the edges are golden.
Add curry, turmeric, 2 tbs green seasoning, 1/2 cup water and cook until the liquid evaporates and curry separates from the oil, about 3-5 minutes.
Add seasoned shrimp, stir well to combine and cook for 10 – 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure that it does not stick. The shrimp will release its own juices and cook in those juices, however, if all the liquid evaporates add water as required. Taste and add more salt if required.
Serve with rice or roti.
