Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons salted butter
1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined raw shrimp (I used U10, but any size is fine)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon curry powder
One 13 1/2-ounce can coconut milk (I used A Taste of Thai brand)
2 tablespoons honey, or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
Juice of 1 lime, or more to taste
12 fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish
Hot sauce, as needed, optional
Cooked basmati rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a large skillet (I used nonstick) over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, turning them over halfway through, until fully cooked, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the garlic and onions to the skillet and stir to cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the curry powder over the onions and continue cooking, stirring, for another couple of minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine. Add the honey, salt and lime juice, and allow the sauce to heat up until bubbling gently. Add the shrimp to the sauce, tossing to coat, and allow it to simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste the sauce and add more salt, lime juice or honey, depending on your taste. Stir in the basil. (Add hot sauce if you want a little kick.)
  • Serve the shrimp and sauce over a bed of cooked basmati rice, garnishing with more basil. Delicious!

SPICY JUMBO SHRIMPS WITH OLD CAPE FLAVOURS



Spicy Jumbo Shrimps With Old Cape Flavours image

A simple shrimp (prawn) recipe with a leaning towards the tandoori style. Use the largest shrimp you can get, and sea-fresh shrimps are always better tasting than farmed shrimp. But if beggars can't be choosers, the spice in this recipe will make any shrimp or prawn taste great! (Edited on 21 Oct 2010)

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs shrimp, large, peeled, deveined and rinsed (2 lbs or 1 kg is the cleaned weight)
1 cup yoghurt, full cream (or Greek yoghurt)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (lime juice is also great)
8 cardamom pods, crushed (use a pestle and mortar)
2 tablespoons fresh ginger (minced, grated or very finely chopped)
2 tablespoons garlic, fresh (peeled, chopped and crushed)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons turmeric, ground
2 teaspoons paprika (not hot)
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or use a few drops hot sauce)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl mix the ingredients from the yoghurt, down to the salt. Whisk well. It's best to do this well ahead, and leave this sauce, covered, at room temperature -- the flavours meld and improve a lot.
  • Place the cleaned shrimps (preferable in one layer) in a large oven dish or tin, and coat the shrimps with the mixture. Keep some of the sauce for later, if there is enough. Shake the dish, so the thickish sauce penetrates to the bottom of the dish.
  • Marinate the shrimps in the fridge for 1 hour.
  • To grill over hot coals, skewer the shrimps close together on skewers (soaked in water if using wooden skewers). Grill quickly and carefully only until they curl up and turn pink, using any leftover or extra sauce to brush them with.
  • Or bake in a 350 deg F/180 deg C oven, brushing once with the rest of the marinade.
  • Bake only until they turn pink and curl up -- better watch this, as I forgot to time this bit! If they're cold out of the fridge they will take longer -- it's better to take the dish out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking time. (Tonight, cold from the fridge, they took only about 20 mins to cook).
  • If done in the oven, serve with the juices, over rice. If grilled on skewers, serve with salads and bread.
  • Be warned that shrimps shrink a lot in cooking, and as a main dish 2 lbs/1 kg will really only serve 4 adults!
  • You could stretch it by serving it as a starter, on baby mixed greens moistened with vinaigrette. Serve with crusty bread.
  • Prep time does not include cleaning the shrimps or the marinating time.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. A little bit of heat can go a long way in this dish.
  • Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. They should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
  • Serve the curry with your favorite sides, such as rice, quinoa, or naan bread.

Conclusion:

Shrimp curry is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe, give shrimp curry a try. You won't be disappointed!
