Add onion and cook until lightly browned. 2: Stir in garlic and ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes. Then add turmeric, chili powder, and paprika. Sauté until fragrant, letting the masala slightly stick to the pan. 3: Add shrimp and cook until they turn pink. Pour in coconut milk, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the curry thickens and the shrimp are fully cooked. Add water if needed and season with salt, pepper, and sugar to taste. 4: Optional: Garnish with leftover coconut cream. 5: Serve with rice for a quick weeknight dinner!
