Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 1/2 pounds large raw shrimp, shelled and deveined
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoons Madras curry powder
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or pureed
  • 3 inch piece of ginger, grated (2 tablespoons)
  • 1 red pepper, cut into julienne
  • 1 chayote squash (christophine), diced
  • 1- 13 ounce can coconut milk
  • 1 bunch scallions, cut into 1inch lengths
  • 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves only

Directions

Heat large skillet over medium heat, then add 1 tablespoon butter. When foam subsides, add shrimp and cook until they just turn pink. Remove from pan and reserve.

Add red pepper and chayote and cook 5 minutes. Add about 2/3 of the coconut milk and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes to bring flavors together. Add shrimp back to skillet along with scallions, cilantro leaves and lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning adding more pepper if necessary, adding more coconut milk if desired for a soupier consistency. Serve over rice.

    I was excited about this so I could use my extra coconut milk, but was disappointed with the results. It was lacking in flavor and was just really dull. Wouldn't make again.

    I liked how easy this recipe was to follow. I think I used maybe the wrong type of curry powder as it is not as spicy as I would have liked it and maybe I used too much coconut milk. However, this was my first time and I think it came out pretty good.

    Tastes like a Madras curry version of a Thai curry and didn't seem to work terribly well that way. Kind of a mish-mash of tastes dominated by the coconut milk. Average.
