Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Finely dice 1 onion and roughly chop 10g cilantro, setting the cilantro aside for garnish.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a pan and saute the diced onion over medium-high heat for 7 to 8 minutes until golden.

    Add 1 tbsp minced garlic and cook 1 more minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add 2 tbsp curry powder and fry in the oil for 1 minute.

    The spices bloom in the oil and release a deep golden aromatic oil.

  4. 4

    Add 300g cocktail shrimp and stir-fry for 2 minutes until the outside turns pink.

    They do not need to be fully cooked at this stage.

  5. 5

    Pour in 3 tbsp mango chutney and 200ml coconut milk.

    Simmer over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes until the sauce thickens and the shrimp are fully flavored.

  6. 6

    Check that the shrimp are opaque through the center, stir in 1 tsp lime juice, and top with the reserved 10g cilantro.

    Serve hot.

Tips

If the mango chutney has large chunks, finely chop it for a smoother sauce.
Turn off the heat as soon as the shrimp are opaque through the center to reduce overcooking.
