CURRY SHRIMP AND RICE

Curry Shrimp and Rice image

My family and I absolutely love curry shrimp and rice. I created this version so I I can make it in a hurry. Except for the butter and shrimp, all the ingredients are right in my pantry. To add a little heat, we like to stir in a tablespoon of fresh ground chili paste. -Angela Spengler, Niceville, Florida
