Creamy Curried Shrimp With Grilled Pineapple Food

CURRIED POLYNESIAN SHRIMP

Steps:

• Cut 1-inch slice from top of pineapple, leaving green leaves on top; set aside. Remove fruit from pineapple, cutting around inside edge of rind and leaving 1/2-inch wall. Cut fruit from core; cut pineapple into bite-size pieces.
• Place 1 olive in curve of each shrimp; skewer together with plastic pick. Skewer pineapple pieces on picks. Attach picks of shrimp and pineapple to rind of pineapple in spiral design.
• Place cup or bowl in rim of pineapple (such as a 6- or 10-ounce custard cup). In medium bowl, mix sour cream, curry powder and salt; spoon into cup. Cover with pineapple top. Arrange any remaining skewers around pineapple. Serve immediately, or cover completely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving.

CURRIED SHRIMP WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• For the salsa, core the pineapple and chop into small chunks.
• The jalapeno may be deseeded for less heat if desired.
• Combine all salsa ingredients in a medium bowl and toss well.
• Set aside while cooking the shrimp.
• For the shrimp, combine the shrimp, curry powder and salt.
• Heat half the oil over medium high heat.
• Cook half the shrimp for about 4-6 minutes or until done.
• Repeat by heating the remaining oil and cooking the remaining shrimp until done.
• To serve, toss the shrimp with the pineapple salsa and serve immediately.

PINEAPPLE CURRY WITH JUMBO SHRIMPS

Steps:

• In a large pot add the pineapple, coconut cream, curry paste, fish sauce and sugar.
• Cook on medium high heat, but do not boil.
• Add the shrimp and cilantro and simmer until the shrimp turn a bright pink color, about 3 - 5 minutes.
• Serve over top the cellaphane noodles and garnish with fresh basil.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat a grill or large grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Pat the shrimp dry and place in a medium bowl. Add the garlic, shallot, lemon zest, coriander, olive oil, and 1/8 teaspoon salt, then very gently toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (up to 1 hour) to marinate.
• Using a pair of 12-inch metal skewers, thread 6 of the shrimp on both the tail and "head" side, leaving about 1/2 inch of space between each shrimp. You will end up with a total of 2 sets of skewered shrimp (6 per pair of skewers).
• Place the pineapple on a large plate and drizzle with the chili oil. Gently flip the spears around to thinly and evenly coat the pineapple all over.
• Grill the pineapple without moving the spears too much until nicely caramelized grill marks form, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a large serving platter and finish seasoning with a touch of salt.
• Grill the skewered shrimp over direct heat until pink and just firm at the thickest part, 2 to 3 minutes per side (they will continue to cook slightly as they cool, so try not to leave them on the grill too long!). Carefully remove the shrimp from the hot skewers and arrange them over the grilled pineapple.
• Whisk the coconut milk and honey in a small bowl until the honey is fully dissolved. Drizzle over and around the shrimp and pineapple. Garnish with fresh mint and basil leaves and serve right away.

THAI RED CURRY SHRIMP WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• In a medium skillet or saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of the coconut milk over medium high heat, stirring often, until it starts to thicken and smell fragrant. This usually takes 3 minutes.
• Add the curry paste and cook a minute or two, pressing and stirring it in the milk, to dissolve it. Stir in remaining coconut milk, water, fish sauce, sugar, pineapple and lime juice and bring to a gentle boil. Do not cover. Let cook a couple of minutes, then add shrimp and basil. Let all the flavors simmer for a few minutes. There's lots of liquid, so serve over rice.

THAI PINEAPPLE SHRIMP CURRY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir curry paste until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir shrimp into paste and cook for 3 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a plate, scraping as much paste back into the skillet as possible.
• Pour coconut milk into the curry paste. Add leeks, onion, bamboo shoots, sugar, and fish sauce; bring to a boil. Add green beans, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, scallions, and jalapeno pepper and simmer until vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Add shrimp and pineapple; cook and stir until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Serve curry over cooked rice.

• (This can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days).

• Preheat the grill to medium.
• Remove the shrimp from the coconut mixture.
• Season with salt and pepper and place 5 shrimp on each skewer.
