Drescription

My mother gave this recipe to me and it is great for an impressive dinner party. Fresh shrimp in a wonderful creamy coconut curry sauce served over rice. Top with chopped green onion, minced red bell pepper, chopped roasted peanuts, or toasted flaked coconut, if you like.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • hot cooked rice

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and saute until they just turn pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Add onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk in flour, curry powder, pepper, and salt. Cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute.
  3. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and coconut milk; continue cooking over medium heat until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Stir in cooked shrimp and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until shrimp are thoroughly heated. Serve curry immediately over rice.
