How To Make coconut ~ curried ~ shrimp over basmati rice

  • Step 1
    In a large skillet,( I used my 9 inch iron skillet ) melt 1 tablespoon of butter, over medium heat. Once hot, add the shrimp. Cook just for 2 - 3 minutes, turning once and until pink. Don't overcook...they won't take long. Remove from pan, and set aside.
  • Step 2
    In the same skillet, melt remaining butter and add the onion, peppers and garlic. Cook until tender crisp.
  • Step 3
    Ina small dish, add the flour, curry, salt and pepper. Stir together and whisk into the vegetables. Stir constantly and cook for 1 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Whisk in the coconut milk, heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning if need be.
  • Step 5
    Once thick, add the shrimp back to the pan and cook only long enough to heat the shrimp through.
  • Step 6
    To serve, make a bed of rice on a plate or bowl and ladle out broth and top with shrimp. Enjoy! It's delicious!
