1
Heat olive oil in a pot on medium-low heat. Add onion and cook for about 3 minutes until softened.
2
Stir in crushed garlic cloves and black pepper. Keep heat low to prevent burning.
3
Add Caribbean green seasoning. Let it cook thoroughly to develop the aromatic base.
4
Add curry powder, garam masala, and salt. Fry for several minutes on low heat to bloom the spices and deepen the color.
5
Add bird's eye pepper for heat if desired. Continue cooking until the base is dark and onions and garlic have melted down.
6
Add water and diced tomato. Bring to a rolling boil and maintain for 4-5 minutes to let the tomato break down and create sauce.
7
Add pre-boiled potatoes. Keep at a rolling boil for a few minutes, allowing the potatoes to absorb the curry flavor. Crush a few pieces if you prefer a thicker sauce.
8
Gently add the peeled, deveined shrimp. Submerge them in the curry sauce. Cook on medium heat for about 1–1.5 minutes.
9
Turn off the heat and let residual heat finish cooking the shrimp gently, preventing them from becoming tough. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
10
Garnish with fresh cilantro or culantro. Give a gentle stir and serve.
