This exceeded my expectations! I used curry powder, cumin & a bit of cardamom. I also used all sour cream. Delicious! The red pepper gave it a little kick but not too much that my 8 yr old didnt enjoy as well. Sauce was delicious but doing the low carb thing so ate solo. Thanks for posting! A definite repeat recipe.

This was a very nice recipe and easily prepared. curry flavours are not strong, but complement the shrimp nicely. A lovely creamy sauce served over steamed rice, very much enjoyed, thank you, Ice Cool Kitty! Made for Family Picks, ZWT5, Jammin' Java Jivers

With a little extra curry powder and a sprinkle of sugar to balance out the flavors, hubby and I enjoyed this as an appetizer and both of us agreed; it's YUMMY. Hubby liked the meat to sauce ratio...he loves his meat. I also think it would work quite well mixed with a bit of rice and turned into a cold curry prawn salad on day two.
