This is the first thing I made my wife-to-be while we were dating (I think it was on the fifth date). Now we’ve been married 24 years, and I attribute that to the magic of this dish.

Shrimp Curry

Ingredients

1 ½ lbs of small, de-tailed shrimp (aka prawns!)
1/2 onion
5 T butter
8 T flour
4 T curry
2 t salt
1 T ginger
1 T sugar
1 can consume or beef broth
2 cups milk
½ T lemon juice

Instructions

1. melt butter
2. chop/sauté onion
3. blend together flour, curry, salt, ginger, sugar
4. mix into butter & onion
5. add consume & milk
6. heat until smooth & thick (flavor with more curry, ginger, or salt to taste)
7. add shrimp & lemon juice
8. heat & serve over rice with chopped peanuts, shredded coconut, and chutney or sweet & sour sauce to put on top.

Sounds great, Bob and I love the story that goes with the food 🙂 Hope you are still cooking it for your lovely wife, twenty four years on!
