Description

Discover how to make delicious Chinese curry shrimp with this easy recipe. Learn the secret to perfectly cooked shrimp in a flavorful curry sauce!


Ingredients

  • 300 g Arctic Shrimp (10.6 oz)
  • 50 g Curry powder (1.8 oz)
  • 20 g Sugar (0.7 oz)
  • 2 g Salt (1/3 tsp)
  • 1/4 Red onion
  • 1 piece of Ginger
  • 2 cloves of Garlic
  • 2 Tbsp Coconut milk (30 ml)
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) Ghee
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) Cornstarch


Instructions

  1. Warm approximately 3 tablespoons of oil until it’s about 70% hot, then mix it with the curry powder in a bowl. This is how I create the curry sauce for the shrimp.
  2. Chop the red onion, garlic, and ginger into small pieces.
  3. Allow the Arctic shrimp to thaw naturally beforehand. Heat oil in a wok to about 80% temperature, add the shrimp, and briefly fry them for around 20 seconds.
  4. Drain the excess oil, keeping a small amount in the wok, and sauté the diced onion, garlic, and ginger. Then incorporate the prepared curry-infused oil.
  5. Combine all the ingredients thoroughly and let them simmer gently for a few minutes.
  6. Reintroduce the fried shrimp, and add enough hot water to cover them. Sprinkle in the sugar and salt, then bring the mixture to a boil.
  7. Next, add the coconut milk and bring it back to a boil. Stir in the pre-melted ghee and cornstarch mixture.
  8. Transfer everything into a metal baking dish and place it in an oven preheated to 200° C for five to six minutes. Remove and enjoy!

Notes

  • Try using fresh coconut milk instead of canned for a more flavorful dish.
  • Enhance the aroma by adding a pinch of freshly ground black pepper to the curry sauce.
  • Increase cornstarch slightly for a thicker, velvety sauce.
