Number Of Ingredients 12

4 Tbsp butter
1 - 1 1/2 lb raw jumbo shrimp ~ peeled & deveined
1 c each - chopped onion & chopped red bell pepper
1 - 2 clove garlic, minced
3 Tbsp flour
1 Tbsp curry powder - or more to taste
1/2 tsp kosher salt or to taste
1 c chicken broth
3/4 c coconut milk
1/4 c heavy cream
1/2 tsp black pepper
Prepared basmati rice ( enough for however many you're serving for )

Steps:

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.
2. In the same skillet, melt remaining butter and add the onion, peppers and garlic. Cook until tender crisp.
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.
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.
5. Once thick, add the shrimp back to the pan and cook only long enough to heat the shrimp through.
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!
