For the Creamy Base

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F).
  2. Chop the green chili peppers, garlic, and spring onions. Place them on a roasting tray, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Roast the chilies in the oven for about 15 minutes, tossing halfway through until tender and aromatic.
  4. Transfer the roasted ingredients to a food processor. Add coconut yogurt, avocado, lime juice, and cilantro, then blend until creamy. Add water if too thick.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry the shrimps for 2-3 minutes until pink—be careful not to overcook.
  6. Serve the creamy salsa in bowls, topped with cooked shrimps. Garnish with lime wedges, black pepper, and extra cilantro.
