   • Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another 2 minutes.
   • Stir in the spice paste and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid sticking.
   • Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down and form a thick sauce, about 10 minutes.
   • Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, and chili powder. Cook for 2 more minutes.
3. Simmer the Curry:
   • Pour in the coconut milk and water or seafood stock. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
   • Add the shrimp to the pan and cook until they are pink and opaque, about 5-7 minutes.
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Serve:
   • Garnish the shrimp curry with fresh cilantro.
   • Serve hot with steamed rice or naan bread.
