Thai Shrimp Curry with a Kick image

Shrimp, mushrooms and tomatoes simmered in a coconut-curry broth, with a bit of a 'kick.' I like to serve this with Jasmine rice, but any rice will do!

24 uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup finely diced red onion

Steps:

Sprinkle shrimp with salt and cayenne pepper.
