For a richer flavor, consider using ghee (clarified butter) instead of vegetable oil. Adjust the amount of red chile pepper to control the spiciness of the curry. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste. Fresh curry leaves are essential for the authentic flavor of this dish. If you can't find them fresh, dried curry leaves can be used, but the flavor will be less intense. Ensure the shrimp are properly peeled and deveined for the best texture and flavor. This curry is best served immediately. However, leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
