I really loved the pineapple salsa, but I was not a fan of the shrimp. Instead of sprinkling the curry powder on the shrimp themselves, I felt like it would've been better to cook the curry powder in some butter first and then throw the shrimp in & cook them. The curry powder tastes completely different when sprinkled on food like this.

what a wonderful recipe! Love it! Have made it several times allready.A great summer dish. My son gave me the recipe several years ago and I just forgot to review it,but it gets 5 stars! I like to serve it over a green salad with sliced avocado,watercress ect. And ofcourse nice crusty french bread and a glass of chilled white wine....Thanks for sharing this wonderfull recipe!

So great and simple! I used some home-made curry powder and instead of tossing the shrimp in the salsa placed the salsa in the middle of a plate over a bed of plain rice with the shrimp around the outside. My curry mix was quite a hot one so this went along really well with a nice chilled glass of crisp chardonnay.
