Notes when making shrimp curry:

For the best and most successful shrimp curry, the quality of the shrimp plays a crucial role. If you can't find prawns, you can opt for smaller shrimp as long as they are fresh. Good shrimp should have slightly greenish flesh when peeled.

If you're not a fan of spicy food, you can reduce the amount of chili, but make sure not to eliminate it entirely as it's essential for the curry flavor.
