Christmas Shrimp Curry Food

ERIC BOARDMAN CHRISTMAS SHRIMP CURRY

Steps:

• Melt butter in a double boiler. Add onion. Simmer until tender. Stir in flour and other dry ingredients. Gradually stir in chicken broth and milk. Cook over boiling water, stirring until thickened. (Could be 10 minutes). Add shrimp and lemon juice. Heat to serving temperature. (Be sure not to head too long or shrimp will over-cook and turn to rubber.)
• Serve over fluffy rice with 2 or more accompaniments on top: chutney, shredded coconut, diced bananas, sliced avocado, pineapple chunks, bacon bits, salted almonds, Spanish peanuts, or currant jelly.

SHRIMP CURRY

Steps:

• In a small food processor (mini-chopper), combine the garlic and ginger and puree into a paste. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the cloves, cardamom, allspice, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf and cook, stirring constantly, until toasted and fragrant and the cinnamon stick unfurls, about 30 seconds. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic-ginger paste, curry powder, and jalapeno and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato, coconut milk, and cook, stirring, until the oil separates from the sauce and there is a distinctive frying sound as the sauce begin to "refry", about 7 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring, for about 1 minute more. Add the water and salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has thickened, about 6 minutes. Add shrimp, cover, and bring to a simmer and cook until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the coriander and lime juice. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with rice.

SHRIMP CURRY RICE

Steps:

• Place clean rice, water, coconut milk, butter, and curry powder in a saucepot.* Bring to a simmer, cover and cook rice, for about 15 minutes, then remove from the heat and allow to steam, covered, for 5 minutes.
• Uncover and add cooked shrimp, chiles, onions, tomatoes, pineapple, cilantro, papaya, and allspice. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste. Gently fold all together. Allow all the ingredients to set and marry for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.

THAI SHRIMP CURRY

Steps:

• Cook the rice noodles as the label directs. Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ginger, garlic, scallions and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the curry paste and stir to coat. Add the coconut milk, whisking as you pour. Stir in the fish sauce and sugar. Add 3/4 cup water and bring to a simmer. Cook, whisking occasionally, until thickened, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add the frozen vegetables to the skillet and cook, stirring, until warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring and flipping occasionally, until just pink, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Divide the noodles among bowls. Top with the shrimp curry and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

INDIAN SHRIMP CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the onion in the hot oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow it to cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, turmeric, paprika, and ground chile (see Note) to the onion and stir over low heat. Pour the tomatoes and coconut milk into the skillet; season with salt.
