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.

- Push fruit to the edge of the saute pan.

- Mix up the fruit and shrimp in the pan, partially deglazing the pan using a wood spoon or spatula.

- Serve in wide bowls with a scoop of rice, followed by shrimp and fruit stir-fry, and then sauce over the top.
- Enjoy your meal with a Belikin beer and plan your next vacation to Belize that includes a stop at the Maya Beach Hotel.
TROPICAL CURRY
This is a lovely curry, full of meat and fruit. It is unusual but oh so yummy. It's always best eaten the next day. It comes from Indonesia, where the lady that gave me the recipe says she makes it up and then sits it on her windowsill for a day for the flavours to meld. I like to eat it straight away, but leftovers are definitely better. I hope you enjoy it :)

TROPICAL BEEF CURRY RICE WITH CONDIMENTS
I created this dish when I was about 20 living in Okinawa and it is our very favorite curry. Okinawa is sub-tropical with beautiful beaches and no doubt the climate and the people inspired me to come up with this colorful one dish curry. If you are looking for authentic curry then this is not it. It's not Japanese curry either. What makes this dish so tasty besides the mild curry sauce is the addition of condiments of choice. You can use almost anything including cut up mango, papaya, pineapple, tomatoes, cucumber, toasted peanuts or pine nuts, chopped green onion, pepper, and shredded boiled eggs. This is our favorite curry!
