SHRIMP CURRY (MY DEAR MUDDER'S VERSION)
Don't remember the first time I had this as a kid, but after my mother made it once, it became my requested dish every birthday. Serve with shredded sweet coconut, chopped dry-roasted peanuts, pineapple tidbits, raisins, chopped bacon, chutney, chopped egg, or chopped tomato. Because this recipe calls for condiments of choice, every plate will be customized and taste a bit different by all at the table.

A+ SHRIMP CURRY
Simple and sublime...what could be better? I have made curry for 40+ years with much effort, love, and personal satisfaction, but when I tried this in-a-pinch mixture I realized I was over-thinking the recipe. This has a "drive you crazy" taste and your peeps will think you spent forever prepping and cooking. Shhhhh, we won't tell :)

Steps:
- Sauté the finely chopped onion and 2 tablespoons butter. When onion has lightly browned, add condensed mushroom soup and curry powder (mixed to paste).I use double that amount and use a mild heat version as I am not a "heat" lover (Spice Islands).
- Add shrimp, If you like sweet things in your curry add seedless raisins. Heat thoroughly untill shrimp are pink and no longer opaque. Do not overcook.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in sour cream, a few drops of lemon juice, and a dash of tabasco.
- Serve over your favorite hot rice.
- notation: I usually double the mixture but not the shrimp because I believe "it's all about the sauce" ENJOY! :).

Tips:
- Use fresh, succulent shrimp for the best flavor. Frozen shrimp can be used, but thaw them completely before cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the shrimp until they are pink and opaque. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Use a good quality curry paste for the best flavor. Look for a paste that is made with fresh, aromatic spices.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of curry paste to your taste. If you like a milder curry, use less paste. If you like a spicier curry, use more paste.
- Serve the sour cream shrimp curry with steamed rice, naan bread, or roti.
Conclusion:
Sour cream shrimp curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The creamy, flavorful sauce is perfect for dipping shrimp, rice, or bread. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
