Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion, thinly sliced (about 3 cups)

1 jalapeno chile, finely chopped

Salt

2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 teaspoons curry powder

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

4 plum tomatoes (about 1/2 pound), quartered lengthwise and cut into large chunks

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/4 cup sour cream or plain whole-milk yogurt

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Preparation

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, jalapeno, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomato paste, curry powder, and ginger. Cook, stirring to break up paste, until mixture is smooth and fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add tomatoes to skillet. Cook, stirring, until they begin to release their juices, about 1 minute. Add 1 1/2 cups water; simmer until tomatoes have slightly broken down, 3 to 5 minutes. Add shrimp; cook until opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Add sour cream and lime juice to skillet; stir to combine. Serve hot.
