![Fancy enough for company but easy enough for a weeknight, this Shrimp Tomato Curry satisfies your curry craving in no time.](https://marcsrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/tomato-shrimp-curry-011.jpg)
When I'm freestyle cooking in the kitchen, I love drawing inspiration from ingredients and techniques from around the world. This Shrimp & Tomato Curry melds influences from Japanese, Thai, Indian, and Hungarian cuisines.
You might think of curry as a winter dish, but in many Asian countries, spicy foods are believed to help cool the body down in summer by triggering a sweat response. This curry is perfect for those warm days when you want something satisfyingly flavorful but don't want to spend a ton of time cooking.

Cooking the shrimp separately from the tomato curry sauce ensures they stay plump and juicy, but a fragrant marinade also makes them burst with flavor. The tomato and onion-based curry has a sweet and fruity taste packed with umami, yet the acidity from the tomatoes keeps it light and refreshing. To tie everything together, I add a dollop of sour cream at the end, which mellows out the spices while smoothing out the sharp tartness of the tomatoes.
The best part? You can whip up this delicious meal in around 20 minutes, with only about half of that time spent cooking. It's a quick, flavorful dish perfect for a weeknight dinner!

I made this for lunch and it was so delicious! I used ghee instead of oil and it gave the sauce a nice caramelized flavor. It really satisfied my curry craving. Now I have to make another batch of Japanese curry powder! Hope I have all the spices.😊
