Instructions
- Thaw the frozen shrimp in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours (or in cold water for 15-20 minutes), keeping it refrigerated until ready to cook.
- Wash and pat dry the thawed shrimp thoroughly.
- While the shrimp thaws, wash and cut the 7 mushrooms, 1 red pepper, 1 onion, and 2 leeks into small pieces. Finely chop the 2 cloves of garlic.
- Heat a small pan over medium heat with roughly 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the chopped garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the shrimp and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all visible liquid has evaporated.
- Heat a large saucepan over medium heat with roughly 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the cut vegetables and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked shrimp with garlic, 2 teaspoons curry powder, 1 teaspoon turmeric, and 2 cups of washed basmati rice. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.
- Pour in 4 cups of hot water, stir briefly, then taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
- Cover with a lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice has absorbed all the water.
- Place a large plate upside-down over the saucepan and carefully invert to turn the rice out onto the plate.
