Instructions

1 First of all, dice ¼ of a large onion finely. After peeling garlic and ginger,
mince them. Then, grate the zest of half a lemon.
2 Step 2: Fry the Shrimp
3 If you have bought peeled and deveined shrimp from the store, the cooking
process will be much easier. Put about ½ tbsp of oil in a pan and heat it. When
the oil is hot, put the shrimp into the pan and stir-fry them for about 30-45
seconds.
4 Once the shrimp changes color, season it with some salt and black pepper. Then,
take them out and set aside.
5 Add some more oil to the same pan and let it heat. Then, put the diced onion,
minced ginger, and garlic in the pan. Stir-fry the spices until they are
fragrant. Once the onions become translucent, pour about 100ml of coconut milk.
6 After cooking the milk for 1-2 minutes, add the fried shrimp. Sprinkle the lemon
zest onto the shrimp. Also, add about 1 tbsp of lemon juice to the sauce to give
the shrimp a tangy kick.
7 Put about 1 tbsp of fish sauce in the pan to season the dish. Mix everything and
cook for 2 minutes. After that, you can serve delicious coconut shrimp.
