I am a huge fan of Indian food. I had never attempted to make it at home before. I received a spice packet from karen’s spice kitchen. I make Chicken Tikka Masala and it was delicious. After that, I decided to make Shrimp Curry. I love International flavors. This is a 
gourmet meal you can make at home. The recipe can easily be doubled if you are entertaining. Enjoy.
Shrimp Curry
1 pound uncooked shrimp (shell removed, sand vein cleaned and tail off)
2 Tablespoons Sunflower oil (Olive oil or peanut oil can also be used)
1/2 sweet onion, diced
2 Tablespoons minced garlic (or 3 cloves fresh garlic minced)
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
14.5 oz. can of chopped tomatoes
14 oz. of half and half (coconut milk can be used)
In a 5 quart pan heat oil over medium heat and add onion. Cook for several minutes until the onion is translucent. Remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool for 2 minutes. Add all of the spices to the pan with the onion. Put the burner on low and add the tomatoes and half and half. Cook at a simmer 10 to 12 minutes. Add the raw shrimp to the sauce and simmer about 5 minutes until the shrimp are thoroughly cooked. If you want you can use cooked shrimp, decrease cooking time to 1 minute. This can be served over rice with a fresh salad.
Enjoy the fresh produce at the area Farmers Markets. Until next time…From our Butcher Block to your Table.
