Delicous way to prepare shrimp but I also made a few minor changes. I didn't have any curry paste so just used the same amount of curry powder and I didn't have any Coco Lopez so used the same amount of Coconut Milk. Thanks for sharing this keeper which we will be having again soon. -
first, lets establish that coco lopez is not a liquor, it is a sweetened thick coconut mix in a can used to make pina coladas. i didn't have tamarind paste but i had tamarind necter so i thought i'd boil it down to thicken. i also threw in some coconut rum in case that was supposed to be used. in the end i had alot of sauce so i added half a pound of scallops. the sauce had a nice sweet/hot flavor and i have plenty left which i think will taste great over chicken.

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 11 years now. We live on 40 acres and have 6 dogs and 4 Tennessee Walkers. We both work a lot of hours so there is never enough time in a day to get everything done. I absolutely love the outdoors. I also enjoy lifting weights, reading and playing with all of my beautiful animals. I absolutely love, love and love to cook. I like to cook a variety of things and also like love to bake. I like to just get in the kitchen and experiment with different things. If something does not turn out for me such as pie crust or gravy I will keep trying until I can make it work. Only problem is, when I finally make it work it may not work again the time after that. It is fun though and I do consider myself a pretty good cook for the most part. I also love slow cooker recipes. Those are my most favorite in the winter months.
