  2. Dice the tomatoes, slice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook until golden and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Notes

Feel free to use frozen shrimp if fresh ones aren’t available. For a milder dish, you can replace chili with bell peppers.
To enhance the flavor, consider adding a splash of coconut milk towards the end of cooking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently on the stovetop for best results.
