Shrimp Curry

without comments

This is a nice easy one pan dish. I serve it with white rice.

1 large onion diced
1 pound shrimp, remove shells
olive or other cooking oil

In a deep skillet fry diced onions and shrimp until onions are clear and shrimp is curled and pink.

Add:
1 can ( 14oz ) coconut milk
2 Tablespoons Lime juice
2 teaspoons curry powder

Simmer for about a half hour while rice cooks.

Curry is a loosely applied term referring to almost any meat or fish and vegetable dish served with rice and flavored with curry powder. The earliest known curry recipe was for meat with a spicey sauce served with bread in about 1700 BCE in Sumeria.

Curried Cauliflower

without comments

Curry is a great way to bring some life to otherwise bland vegetables.

1 1/2 Tablespoons oil
1 head cauliflower chopped up
1 medium onion chopped up
saute until onions are clear and cauliflower is tender

In a bowl mix:
1 teaspoon curry
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup water
Add this to the cauliflower and onions and simmer until liquid is reduced by half.

In India potatoes are added to the curry. Cauliflower (cabbage-flower) originated in the Mediterranean and is popular in cream soups in the mid section of Europe.
