EASY CURRIED SHRIMP



Easy Curried Shrimp image

This is my mom's recipe - it's very quick to make. I used to make this in college every Friday during Lent. You can make the curry start to finish in the time it takes the rice to cook. The amount of curry and ginger is the starting amount; I use up to twice that much, but adjust it to taste.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound large shrimp
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 3-inch piece fresh lemongrass, thinly sliced crosswise (optional)
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh ginger
8 cardamom pods
2 cups unsalted tomato juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup nonfat yogurt
1/2 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced (1 1/2 cups)
1/4 teaspoon garam masala (a spice blend available at Indian groceries and specialty-food stores)
1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped mint or cilantro
12 sprigs cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Peel and devein shrimp, reserving shells and leaving tails intact. Cover; refrigerate.
  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onions and garlic; cook, stirring often, until onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low; add shrimp shells, curry, lemongrass, ginger, and cardamom. Cook, stirring often, until shells are pink and mixture is very aromatic, about 5 minutes.
  • Add 4 cups water, tomato juice, and salt. Raise heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, skimming off scum as necessary, about 1 hour.
  • Combine the yogurt, cucumber, garam masala, lemon juice, and chopped mint or cilantro; cover with plastic and refrigerate.
  • Strain stock, pressing on solids, into a clean medium saucepan. Return to a boil. Reduce heat so stock is at a bare simmer. Add shrimp; poach, adjusting heat as needed to maintain a bare simmer, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a dish; cover with foil. Raise heat to medium high; simmer liquid until it is reduced by about half, about 20 minutes. Pour the sauce over shrimp; garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve with reserved cucumber relish.

Provided by Morrie Shepard Killian

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Shrimp

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups uncooked white rice
3 cups water
3 tablespoons butter
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped celery
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons curry powder
2 cups milk
½ teaspoon white sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup shredded mild Cheddar cheese, divided
1 pound shelled, deveined cooked shrimp
1 pinch paprika, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan, and cook the onion and celery over medium heat until tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Whisk in the flour, salt, and curry powder until smooth; let cook for a minute or two. Gradually whisk in the milk, and bring almost to a boil, whisking constantly until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in sugar, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese; whisk until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
  • Spread the cooked rice out into the prepared baking dish, and top with the cooked shrimp in an even layer. Cover the shrimp with the cheese sauce; push the tines of a fork all over the casserole between the shrimp to allow the sauce to soak into the rice. Top the casserole with the remaining Cheddar cheese, and garnish with paprika.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and browned, about 30 minutes.

CURRIED GRILLED JUMBO SHRIMP

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds jumbo shrimp
4 cloves garlic
2 small red chilies, chopped
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup finely chopped coriander leaves
1 teaspoon curry paste or powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 cups cooked white rice, warm

Steps:

  • Use scissors to cut down the back of the shrimp, through the shell, to remove the vein. Gently loosen the shell around the shrimp, but keep it in place. Set aside. In a mortar, pound the garlic and chilies to a coarse paste (or use a mini food processor or chop to a paste with a knife). Add the sugar and salt and pound or chop to a finer paste. Stir in the coriander, curry and oil.
  • Gently pull open the shell of each shrimp and, dividing the coriander paste evenly, push some of it down the back of the shrimp where the vein was and under the shell a bit. Close up the shell around the shrimp. Marinate at room temperature at least 2 hours or, covered, in the refrigerator up to 4 hours.
  • Preheat a grill or broiler. Grill or broil the shrimp until the shells are charred on one side and the shrimp is cooked halfway through, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side for 1 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately with the rice.
