Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the onion and cook, stirring, over a medium heat for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the chili pepper and curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, taking care not to allow the paste to burn on the base of the pan.
- Pour the coconut milk into the pan and stir well, then add the chopped tomatoes and stir again. Cook over a low-medium heat for about 10 minutes or until the tomatoes have softened and the sauce has thickened slightly, stirring occasionally.
- Stir the mango into the curry and cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the shrimp and simmer gently for about 5 minutes until the shrimp are pink, tender and cooked through. Stir in the chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
