Directions

  1. Combine salt, black pepper, and red pepper in a large bowl. Add water to make a fine paste. Add shrimp and toss, making sure shrimp are well coated. Refrigerate while making the sauce.

  2. Combine water and coconut in a microwave-safe bowl and cook in the microwave oven for 1 hour. Strain and reserve water, discard coconut. Set coconut water aside.

  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add curry leaf and chile peppers. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Add onion and cook until browned, adding water as needed to prevent sticking, 10 to 15 minutes.

  4. Add ginger paste and garlic paste and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add coriander, sambar powder, and turmeric and stir for 1 minute. Add reserved coconut water and marinated shrimp. Cook until shrimp are curled and opaque, adding more water as needed, about 5 minutes more. Season with black pepper and salt.
