Really good recipe

I made this for supper on Saturday night without a recipe - I've made curries before, but never one with any type of meat in it. I highly recommend this, it was fantastic.

Shrimp curry

1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3-4 tomatoes, diced, or 1 large can diced tomatoes, drained.
Chili/jalapeno peppers, cut up (however many you want; I'd use 2)
shrimp (my mom bought one of those ready to eat rings that was on sale; I've no idea how much it weighed, probably a pound-ish) - remove the tails
1 tbsp curry powder
1-2 tbsp lemon juice (this is key!)
whatever other spices you have on hand - black pepper, cumin, coriander work well)

Fry the onions in a little oil until tender, then add the garlic and peppers and cook a little longer. Add the tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes begin to release their liquid. Add the shrimp, spices, and lemon juice, and let it all simmer for 10 minutes or so. At first, I wasn't sure what this mix needed; once I added lemon juice, I realized that this was probably the most important ingredient for bringing the whole thing together.

Eat it with flatbread like naan. Sooo good.
