Shrimp Curry

Shrimp Curry

Shrimp curry sounds exotic but it is really quite a simple recipe to make.

You can make this curried shrimp, like all other curry recipes, as hot or as mild as you like.

To kick up the heat a bit add as many drops of hot sauce as you can take.

If you prefer hot peppers, finely chop a bit of hot chili peppers and add them when you add the other vegetables. Dried and crumbled chili peppers will work just as well.

  • 2 potatoes, small, peeled and thinly sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder, hot or mild
  • 15 ounces canned tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup fish stock, or water
  • 2 cups mushrooms, chopped

  • 3/4 pound shrimp, cooked and shelled
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Parboil potatoes for 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Sauté the onion and garlic in the oil for several minutes until the onion is transparent, then add the curry powder and fry, mixing with the onions for a few minutes. Add the tomato paste, fish stock or water, and chopped mushroom stalks. Add the herbs.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower the heat. Add the parboiled potatoes, the cauliflower and the mushrooms to the mixture and simmer for 25 minutes. Add the shrimp and lemon juice and simmer a further 10 minutes on a low heat. Season to taste.
