I’m pretty sure is the third curry recipe I’m posting, but the stuff is just so damn good. This one is a sort of a hybrid of coconut shrimp and Thai curry, hence the name Coconut Shrimp Curry.

Curry is so full of flavor, it’s quickly become one of my favorite dishes. And it’s not that hard to make — especially with the assistance of a food processor. —Clark Castle

Something is missing in this recipe, what about cooking the shrimp?

Boil shrimp with OldBay with chunks of onion; add a about 2 TBSPNs of e.v.o.o., a little salt. Have water boiling before putting shrimp in the water; slowly drop them in, in small batches; let boil usually about 3-5 mins. As soon as shrimp begin to turn pink, spoon them into collander in your sink to drain can rinse them with cold water to stop cooking process. Shrimp cook very fast and become tough if left in hot water too long. I would serve the shrimp atop brown rice/egg noodles/angel hair pasta/what have you..... spoon curry sauce on top of shrimp.
