As always, you can find the full list of ingredients located in the printable recipe card below.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This recipe comes together quickly by preparing the shrimp and the delicious sauce that goes with it. <\/p>\n PREPARE SHRIMP <\/strong>Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and add to a large bowl. Season with garam masala, garlic powder, ginger, turmeric, chili powder, and salt.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n COOK SHRIMP <\/strong>Heat a large, heavy bottomed skillet over medium-high heat and add in 1 Tbsp olive oil. Cook shrimp in hot oil, until cooked through, and slightly blackened. You may need to cook in batches, so as to not overcrowd the pan. Remove shrimp from pan and set aside, keep warm.<\/span><\/p>\n START THE SAUCE <\/strong>To the same pan, add the remaining 2 Tbsp olive oil and butter. Cook the onion over medium heat, until soft and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add in the garlic and ginger, along with the garam masala, cumin, turmeric, ground coriander, paprika, salt and cayenne pepper. Cook until fragrant, about 30 to 45 seconds.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pour in the tomato puree and water and bring the mixture to a simmer for about 3 minutes. Add in the heavy cream and stir until evenly combined, then add in the cooked shrimp and stir to coat. <\/span><\/p>\n SERVE <\/strong>Spoon the shrimp and sauce either over the rice or on the side and garnish with cilantro if desired. Be sure to serve with my homemade Naan bread<\/a> for the full experience!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Yes!<\/strong> I recommend you follow the recipe as directed, let cool completely, then freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. <\/p>\n To reheat, simply place in the fridge for 24 hours to thaw, then you can place it in a pan over medium-low heat on the stovetop to warm it up. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here are a few more Indian-inspired recipes that our family loves! <\/p>\nCreamy Shrimp Masala <\/h2>\n
