Shrimp Curry

Shrimp curry is a dish originating from South Asia that combines cooked shrimp with a spicy curry sauce. The curry sauce can be made from a variety of ingredients, including onions, garlic, ginger, and spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder. The cooked shrimp are often cooked in coconut milk or yogurt to add a creamy texture to the dish. Shrimp curry is usually served with rice, naan bread, or other accompaniments. It can also be served as a main course with a side of vegetables or salad.
