"BAKED" SHRIMP CURRY



Yet another weird but wonderful recipe that only came about because I was being lazy and didn't want to wash too many dishes. I marinated some shrimp in a coconut milk mixture and then, being frugal as I am, decided to just cook it, marinade and all. I was quite sure the marinade would mostly evaporate, but lucky for us, I was wrong. What resulted was a baked shrimp curry that is as wonderful as it is weird-sounding.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
2 teaspoons Garam Masala, recipe follows
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound raw shrimp (21 to 25 count), peeled and deveined
2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon cardamom seeds (from green/white pods)
2 dried bay leaves
3 dried red chiles or 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes
One 2-inch piece cinnamon or cassia stick

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the coconut milk, onion, Garam Masala, ginger, garlic, turmeric, salt and cayenne, until well blended.
  • Add the shrimp and toss until coated with sauce on all sides. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the shrimp and marinade to a 7-inch round baking pan with 4-inch sides. Place the pan in the air-fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 375 degrees F for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time.
  • Transfer the shrimp to a serving bowl or platter. Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve.
  • Combine the coriander, cumin, cloves, cardamom, bay leaves, chiles and cinnamon in a clean coffee or spice grinder. Grind, shaking the grinder lightly so all the seeds and bits get into the blades, until the mixture is broken down to a moderately fine powder.
  • Unplug the grinder and turn it upside down. (You want all the ground spices to collect in the lid so you can easily scoop them out without cutting yourself on the blades.) Transfer the garam masala to an airtight container and store in a cool, dark place for a month or two. Makes 1/4 cup.

Tips for Making the Best Shrimp Curry:

  • Use fresh, succulent shrimp: Frozen shrimp can work, but fresh shrimp will give your curry a more vibrant flavor and texture.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of yogurt, spices, and herbs before cooking will help to tenderize and flavor them.
  • Use a flavorful curry paste: The curry paste is the backbone of the dish, so choose one that you enjoy the taste of. You can make your curry paste from scratch or use a store-bought variety.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make the curry watery.
  • Simmer the curry until the shrimp are cooked through: Once the shrimp are added to the curry, simmer it until they are cooked through. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve the curry with your favorite accompaniments: Shrimp curry can be served with a variety of accompaniments, such as rice, noodles, or bread. You can also garnish it with fresh herbs or a dollop of yogurt.

Conclusion:

Shrimp curry is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover shrimp, and it can also be made with frozen shrimp. With its bold flavors and creamy texture, shrimp curry is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this shrimp curry recipe a try!
