Instructions
Clean and devein the succulent Arctic shrimp, ensuring they are ready for cooking.
In a bowl, mix the exotic curry powder, fine sugar, premium salt, and precisely measured flour. This forms the flavorful base for your Chinese shrimp curry.
In a large pan or wok over medium heat, sauté the finely diced red onion, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a bit of oil until they become fragrant and the onion is translucent.
Sprinkle the prepared curry base over the sautéed aromatics. Stir well to coat the vegetables and allow the spices to bloom.
Gradually add fresh, creamy milk to the pan, stirring continuously to create a smooth curry sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer until it thickens.
Gently add the cleaned Arctic shrimp to the curry sauce. Stir to coat the shrimp evenly with the aromatic curry mixture.
Add rich, velvety butter to the pan, stirring until it melts into the curry. This adds a luxurious and indulgent finish to the dish.
Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt or sugar according to your preference.
Once the shrimp are fully cooked and the flavors have melded, serve the Chinese shrimp curry over steamed rice or your favorite grain.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or sliced green onions for an extra burst of flavor and color.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best results.
If you like your curry to be spicier, add some more curry powder or cumin.
For a thicker curry, add a cornstarch slurry.
Use frozen shrimp for convenience and to save time.
If you are using frozen shrimp, make sure to thaw it before adding it to the curry.
If you don’t like shrimp, you can substitute it with chicken or tofu.
If you don’t like coconut milk, you can substitute it with heavy cream or yogurt.
If you are looking to save time, you can make the curry ahead of time and reheat it when you are ready to serve.
For a vegan version, omit the shrimp and use vegetable broth instead of coconut milk.
