Prepare a bowl of ice water and set aside.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the shrimp. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
Immediately transfer the cooked shrimp to the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for 5 minutes, then drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, curry powder, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Add the diced mango, pineapple, red bell pepper, cucumber, and half of the chopped cilantro to the bowl. Mix gently to coat the fruits and vegetables with the curry dressing.
Fold in the chilled shrimp to the curry mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and the dish chill thoroughly.
Before serving, stir the curry gently and taste for seasoning, adjusting with more lime juice, salt, or honey if needed.
Serve the chilled shrimp and fruit curry in individual bowls, garnished with the remaining chopped cilantro.
