shrimp curry

I made shrimp curry tonight. I found the recipe in a Fitness Magazine from 2006 that I got for free at the Book Thing. It may be the tastiest food I've ever made myself. It's simple and healthy. Here's the recipe for the most part (it's a little changed from the original):

2 T oil
1 onion finely chopped
5 garlic cloves minced
1 thumb of ginger finely shredded
1 small red chile chopped and seeds removed
1 tsp turmeric
2 tsp curry powder
1tsp crushed coriander
1 tsp cumin
1 pound of shrimp
1 can of diced tomatos
some extra tomatoes/tomato sauce if desired (I desire it)
juice of 2 limes
salt and pepper
basmati rice
chopped cilantro for serving

Heat oil in a large pan. Add onion, garlic, ginger and chile; cook 5 minutes. Mix in spices. Add the shrimp; cook 3 minutes. Pour in tomatoes and lime juice; a season with salt and pepper and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Add cilantro and serve with basmati rice.


Before I added the tomatoes. The curry makes the color so pretty.



Final product.
