How To Make curry spiced shrimp and rice

  • 1
    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, salt and pepper and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the coconut milk, garlic, ginger, cumin and turmeric, and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
  • 2
    Stir in the rice and broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.
  • 3
    Season the shrimp with a little salt and pepper and nestle them in the partially cooked rice. Scatter the peas over the top, cover, and cook until the shrimp are opaque throughout and the rice is tender, another 4 to 5 minutes more. Fold in the coriander/cilantro, and serve immediately.
