Shrimps In Coconut Milk

This is one of my favoutite curries not only because it is easy to make,specially so since it has the yummy coconut milk!It reminds me of home wherein coconuts where grated and then the milk extracted out of them each time a recipe called for coconut milk!Quite a tiresome procedure...I wonder how my mum managed to make it always with fresh coconut milk extracted at home!Things are so easy for us now with readily avaialable coconut milk etc,but for all this we compromise on the authentic taste:(But I dont want to complain because honestly it has made cooking less time consuming,time,our most precious commodity!
