- 8
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 2 lbs shrimp (raw, peeled and deveined, tail on)
- 4 tablespoons butter (1/2 stick)
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 (14 ounce) can whole tomatoes
- 1 (14 ounce) can light coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
directions
- Melt the butter in a large, deep saute pan and add the onion. Cook on low heat until the onion is translucent, about 15 minutes. Add the curry powder and continue cooking on low heat for 15 minutes, stirring regularly as curry forms a paste. Add the lemon juice and stir.
- Add the tomatoes, cutting them up once they are in the pan. Add half the juice from the can and save the remainder. Continue cooking the tomatoes and onions another 15 minutes on low heat.
- Add 1/4 of the coconut milk and stir. Add enough coconut milk and the remaining tomato juice until you like the consistency of the curry base. Simmer this mixture for another 15 minutes.
- Bring the curry base to a boil and add the shrimp. Stir constantly for about 6-8 minutes to ensure the shrimp are fully cooked. Taste and add salt, if needed. Serve over white or brown rice.

Well, I love to cook! Big surprise there. I've gotten so many great recipes from RecipeZaar that I finally decided to join. My goal is to organize all of my stray recipes to make sure they don't get lost, and also to remember which ones we love! I like a lot of variety, so I rarely cook the same thing week after week. The trouble is, as time goes by, it becomes difficult to remember all of the dishes that everyone loved and/or menus that were a hit when we had company. I'm hoping RecipeZaar will help on that front.
I work part-time and have 2 young children, so mostly what I focus on these days is preparing simple, fresh, healthy meals that all of us will enjoy. Our kids are not coddled - they are expected to eat what they are served. However, I do try to have at least one item on the menu that I KNOW they'll like. They are very good eaters overall, but of course they have slightly different tastes, and my son is a "separator," which makes soups and casseroles a challenge sometimes. Luckily, my husband will eat anything (and I mean ANYTHING) that is put in front of him. :-)
