  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 1 package package frozen coconut milk (12 oz); or substitute 1 can coconut milk
  • Chicken broth, to taste (optional)
  • Shrimp Marinade
  • 2 pounds shrimp
  • 0.5 cup white wine

Instructions 

  1. Peel and devein shrimp.
  2. Combine white wine and oil and add shrimp. Marinate for about 15 minutes
  3. Pan fry curry powder in a medium frying pan. Remove shrimp from marinade and add to pan. When shrimp turns pink, remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Melt butter in a medium-sized pot. Add garlic, ginger, and onion and cook until the onion is soft, but do not let it caramelize.
  5. Whisk in sugar, salt, curry powder and flour.
  6. Slowly whisk in coconut milk, a little at a time so the sauce stays smooth.
  7. Continue cooking, stirring often for about 20 minutes on a low boil so the sauce gets thick. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add chicken broth or more coconut milk to reach desired thickness.
  8. Add shrimp to sauce, stir and heat through, bringing to a gentle boil.
  9. Serve over hot rice with the garnishes of your choice.
