CURRY SHRIMP AND RICE
My family and I absolutely love curry shrimp and rice. I created this version so I I can make it in a hurry. Except for the butter and shrimp, all the ingredients are right in my pantry. To add a little heat, we like to stir in a tablespoon of fresh ground chili paste. -Angela Spengler, Niceville, Florida

TROPICAL RED CURRY SHRIMP WITH COCONUT RICE
I was inspired to create this dish after dining Placencia, Belize at the Maya Beach Hotel (mayabeachhotel.com). This is my attempt to recreate their Sassy Shrimp Pot. Nothing beats dining there in person, but I'm happy with my attempt to copy them. The tart, sweet, salty and spicy collide in this tropical inspired shrimp dish. It's a little fusion of Caribbean and Southeast Asian. My measurements are approximate, and please adjust to your liking.
