EASY CURRIED SHRIMP



Easy Curried Shrimp image

This is my mom's recipe - it's very quick to make. I used to make this in college every Friday during Lent. You can make the curry start to finish in the time it takes the rice to cook. The amount of curry and ginger is the starting amount; I use up to twice that much, but adjust it to taste.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound large shrimp
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 3-inch piece fresh lemongrass, thinly sliced crosswise (optional)
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh ginger
8 cardamom pods
2 cups unsalted tomato juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup nonfat yogurt
1/2 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced (1 1/2 cups)
1/4 teaspoon garam masala (a spice blend available at Indian groceries and specialty-food stores)
1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped mint or cilantro
12 sprigs cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Peel and devein shrimp, reserving shells and leaving tails intact. Cover; refrigerate.
  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onions and garlic; cook, stirring often, until onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low; add shrimp shells, curry, lemongrass, ginger, and cardamom. Cook, stirring often, until shells are pink and mixture is very aromatic, about 5 minutes.
  • Add 4 cups water, tomato juice, and salt. Raise heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, skimming off scum as necessary, about 1 hour.
  • Combine the yogurt, cucumber, garam masala, lemon juice, and chopped mint or cilantro; cover with plastic and refrigerate.
  • Strain stock, pressing on solids, into a clean medium saucepan. Return to a boil. Reduce heat so stock is at a bare simmer. Add shrimp; poach, adjusting heat as needed to maintain a bare simmer, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a dish; cover with foil. Raise heat to medium high; simmer liquid until it is reduced by about half, about 20 minutes. Pour the sauce over shrimp; garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve with reserved cucumber relish.
