Shrimp or Scallop Curry
Yield 4 servings
Just the scent of this simmering golden seafood curry will warm you through and through.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch fresh turmeric, grated
- 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
- 1 Tablespoon curry powder, or more to taste
- 1 cup canned coconut milk
- 1 medium red pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch dice
- 1½ pounds shrimp, peeled
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice, or to taste

Instructions
Melt the butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat and stir in the onion, garlic, turmeric, and ginger. Cook, stirring frequently until the onion is tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the curry and continue cooking 30 seconds.
Stir in the coconut milk and increase the heat and cook until it thickens, about 1 minute. Add the red pepper and the shrimp, and simmer until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 2 to 4 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and lime juice. Serve over rice garnished with the cilantro
