Curry Shrimp

This easy curry shrimp is great on it’s own or in my Butternut Indian curry soup RECIPE HERE. It seriously takes just a few minutes to make and tastes great!

You can use fresh or frozen shrimp, with or without the shells on. I kind of like the flavor that comes with having the shrimp cook in it’s shell but then eating it is messy. If using it in my butternut Indian curry soup then I would suggest removing the shells. Whichever way you prefer will taste great!

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
