Shrimp with Tomato Sauce

I love cooking. Lately I've been trying to think of new stuff to cook especially for dinner when everyone is present. The other day, I was able to buy some shrimp. Usually, what we would do with it is cook it with tamarind and stew it. But I thought why not whip something differently.

I don't know what to call this recipe but its two main ingredients are the shrimp and the tomato sauce, thus the title Shrimp with tomato sauce. I never tried this before! But quite honestly, it turned out very delicious!!

I hope it looks delectable. I honestly love the color. The shrimp is bright orange, the sauce red-orange and my veggie green. It even feels like Christmas! The taste? I added some curry for a lil kick, so it is a tiny bit spicy but still kid friendly and my kids loved it!! It is sweet also as the shrimp was fresh and fresh shrimp means sweet broth/sauce! Plus a tiny bit sourness from the tomato paste. Just so right.

Ingredients: (I was never really a fan of measuring, I eyeballed all measurements! What I did was just put a tiny bit first then If i need more flavor, i add more)


1/2 kilo of shrimp (as I eyeballed it...) medium size, but i guess this would also be great for prawns
tomato sauce - 400ml
tbsp. of curry
kamote tops (i put lots of it for the kids, for them to get to eat healthy stuff)
onions
garlic
oil
tbsp of worsterchire sauce 
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper
2 tbsp of cornstarch dissolved in 1/2 cup water
1/2 - 1 cup of water

Procedure:

1.  Heat pan. Heat oil
2. Suatee garlic, onions till transparent in color
3. Then add the shrimp. If it is orange in color, add the tomato sauce.
4. Add the water, a bit at a time, just see if you want it super saucy or not :)
5. If it is simmering, add a tbsp. of curry and you can start seasoning it if you like. I season it this point now, adding the pinch of salt, worsterchire sauce and pepper.. if you want more kick probably you can add more curry powder and pepper. But if you have kids like me, I have to control it as they might not eat it! :)
6. When it is starting to boil, you may turn the heat down and add the cornstarch mixture then mix it immediately so as not to form lumps! Taste it, if it is up to you liking, then you may now add the kamote tops.

Enjoy! :)
