San Juan Curry

Submitted by Chef Sean 2

"This recipe can be made with either chicken or shrimp--heck as far as I know it can be made with virtually any type of meat. However, I've only made it with chicken. It's more a curry sauce recipe than a meal recipe. Based on "Curried Shrimp or Chicken" from the cookbook "San Juan Classics Cookbook" by Janice Veal and Dawn Ashbach, copyright 1987."
