01
Step 1
Start by melting the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the shrimp and cook them just until they turn pink, which usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes. Once they’re done, take the shrimp out and set them aside for now.

Step 2
Next, add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the same skillet. Cook them until they’re tender but still have a little crunch, about 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour, curry powder, a bit of pepper, and salt, then whisk everything together. Keep whisking for about a minute to cook out the raw flour taste.

Step 3
Slowly pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk while whisking continuously. Let the mixture simmer over medium heat until it thickens up and starts bubbling gently. Once the sauce is nice and creamy, stir the shrimp back in and warm everything through, stirring often so the shrimp heat evenly.

Step 4
Serve the curry right away, spooned over a bed of rice for a comforting meal.
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines the rich, creamy flavor of coconut with the sweet, tender taste of shrimp. It’s a comforting meal that feels indulgent but is easy to prepare. The creamy texture makes every bite smooth and satisfying.
How to serve
Serve this curry over steamed jasmine rice or fluffy basmati to soak up the sauce. It also pairs well with warm naan bread or a simple cucumber salad for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to avoid separating the coconut milk. This dish can also be frozen, but the texture may change slightly after thawing.
