Remove the bay leaf, chili, and thyme. Using an immersion stand blender or regular blender and puree until smooth liquid consistency.
Add the shrimp plus the remaining seasoning, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.
Notes
Go with larger type jumbo shrimp. You want juicy, succulent shrimp and extra-large shrimp is harder to overcook. Plus it takes a little longer to cook which means some of that shrimp flavor will help season the curry.Use a whole scotch bonnet pepper uncut to keep the heat levels down. I like spicy foods, but prefer my curries on the milder sidemto allow all the complex flavors to shine through.For my low calorie diet peeps feel free to go with a light coconut milk, otherwise, stick to the full fat ones for more flavor.I prefer to go without any extra vegetables. It's really just the rice plus the aromatics (garlic, ginger, onions) used to flavor the curry for me. Green peas, snap peas and potatoes are veggie options if you want to add more heft to the dish.Place leftover shrimp curry in an airtight container and refrigerate.Serve over plain white rice or coconut ginger rice. Rustic bread or even naan bread are great accompaniments and are great tools for sopping up the delicious curry sauce.
