Ingredients

  • 600 grams of succulent Arctic shrimp gently harvested from the icy northern waters
  • 2 pieces of aromatic ginger grated to infuse warmth into every bite
  • 40 grams of fine sugar to add a subtle sweetness to the culinary symphony
  • 4 grams of premium salt carefully measured for the perfect balance

  • ½ of a vibrant red onion finely diced for a burst of color and texture
  • 2 teaspoons of rich velvety butter, for a luxurious and indulgent finish
  • 4 tablespoons of fresh creamy milk, adding a luscious touch to the dish

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.
