A great dinner idea! This shrimp curry with zucchini tastes mild and delicious.

Serves 2
Ingredients:

300g peeled and cooked shrimps
2 zucchini, cut
1/2 capsicum, cut
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 can of tomato
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 small dried fish
1/2 tsp chilli powder
A pinch of turmeric powder
1/2 lemon, squeezed
2 cloves garlic, crushed
A small piece ginger, crushed
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp oil
Water

Preparation:

Grind mustard seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds and dried fish.

Keep the ground powder aside.

Heat oil in the saucepan in medium high. Add onion and cook until it is slightly browned.
Add garlic and ginger. Cook it for a minute. Add ground powder, salt, pepper, turmeric, chilli powder and mix well.
Add tomato and water. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add zucchini and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the shrimps and cook for another minute or 2. Add squeezed lemon on top.

Note: If you are using uncooked shrimps, add the shrimps and zucchini at the same time.

This looks yummy and full of flavor- love cooking with shrimp since it cooks so fast. I bet the dried fish adds some great flavor, also! will have to look for this next time I go to the Asian food store. Hope you are doing well-haven't seen any posts more recently! ;)
