  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

  6. Simmer the curry for 5-7 minutes until the flavors meld together and the sauce thickens slightly. Make sure the shrimp is fully cooked.
  7. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro.
  8. Serve the creamy tofu and shrimp curry over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

Feel free to add in other veggies like carrots, snap peas, baby bok choy, or mushrooms for additional variety and flavor. For a creamier texture, use full-fat coconut milk. If you prefer a lighter version, you can opt for light coconut milk.

Be careful not to overcook the shrimp to maintain its tender texture. Cook just until they turn pink and opaque. Garnish the dish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro if desired and enjoy!
