Jamess Coconut Curry Shrimp Recipes

JAMES'S COCONUT CURRY SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add shrimp, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add basil, Scotch bonnet pepper, garlic, and onion, stirring shrimp to coat. Remove skillet from heat, and add wine. Return to heat, and add curry sauce and coconut milk. Cook, stirring until the sauce coats the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Place 3/4 cup of rice in each coconut half. Place 4 shrimp on each rice mound, and top with coconut curry sauce. Garnish with fried plantain chips and fried ginger, if desired. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine salt, black pepper, and red pepper in a large bowl. Add water to make a fine paste. Add shrimp and toss, making sure shrimp are well coated. Refrigerate while making the sauce.
• Combine water and coconut in a microwave-safe bowl and cook in the microwave oven for 1 hour. Strain and reserve water; discard coconut. Set coconut water aside.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add curry leaf and chile peppers. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Add onion and cook until browned, adding water as needed to prevent sticking, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add ginger paste and garlic paste and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add coriander, sambar powder, and turmeric and stir for 1 minute. Add reserved coconut water and marinated shrimp. Cook until shrimp are curled and opaque, adding more water as needed, about 5 minutes more. Season with black pepper and salt.

SHRIMP COCONUT CURRY

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds. As soon as they begin to sputter, add the curry leaves, onions and ginger; saute until the onions are golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low. Add the chili powder, sambar masala, 1/4 teaspoon of the turmeric and some salt and saute for 1 minute. Add the coconut milk and simmer until the mixture is slightly thickened and has turned a deeper shade of gold, about 5 minutes.
• Pat dry the shrimp. Combine the remaining 1/4 teaspoon turmeric and some salt in a medium bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Heat the remaining tablespoon vegetable oil in a second large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook, tossing occasionally, until pink, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the shrimp to the coconut curry. Serve over rice.

• Stir in shrimp, and increase heat to medium-high. Cook and stir until shrimp is cooked through, about 4 minutes.

COCONUT CURRY SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large skillet (I used nonstick) over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, turning them over halfway through, until fully cooked, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
• Add the garlic and onions to the skillet and stir to cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the curry powder over the onions and continue cooking, stirring, for another couple of minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine. Add the honey, salt and lime juice, and allow the sauce to heat up until bubbling gently. Add the shrimp to the sauce, tossing to coat, and allow it to simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste the sauce and add more salt, lime juice or honey, depending on your taste. Stir in the basil. (Add hot sauce if you want a little kick.)
• Serve the shrimp and sauce over a bed of cooked basmati rice, garnishing with more basil. Delicious!
