Equipment

  • pan

Ingredients

  • ½ Crimson Red Onion
  • 2 pieces of Fresh Ginger Root
  • 600 grams of Wild Arctic Shrimp
  • 100 grams of Fragrant Curry Powder
  • 4 tablespoons of Creamy Whole Milk
  • 2 teaspoons of Rich Butter
  • 4 teaspoons of Fine Wheat Flour
  • 40 grams of Organic Granulated Cane Sugar
  • 4 grams of Pink Himalayan Salt
  • 4 cloves of Aromatic Garlic

Instructions

STEP 1 – Prepare the Shrimp:

  • Peel and devein the wild Arctic shrimp. Rinse them thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels.

STEP 2 – Prep the Aromatics:

  • Finely chop the crimson red onion, garlic cloves, and fresh ginger root.

STEP 3 – Create the Curry Base:

  • In a bowl, mix the fragrant curry powder, organic granulated cane sugar, and pink Himalayan salt. Set it aside.

STEP 4 – Cooking Process:

  • Heat a pan or wok over medium heat. Add the rich butter and let it melt.
  • Once the butter is melted, add the finely chopped crimson red onion, garlic cloves, and fresh ginger root. Sauté until they turn fragrant and the onions become translucent.

STEP 5 – Make the Curry Paste:

  • Sprinkle the fine wheat flour over the sautéed aromatics. Stir continuously to make a roux, cooking it for about a minute to remove the raw taste of the flour.

STEP 6 – Add Curry Powder Mix:

  • Slowly add the prepared curry powder, sugar, and salt mix to the pan. Stir well to combine with the roux and aromatics.

STEP 7 – Incorporate the Milk:

  • Gradually pour in the creamy whole milk, stirring constantly to create a smooth curry base. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.

STEP 8 – Add the Shrimp:

  • Once the curry base has thickened, add the prepared wild Arctic shrimp to the pan. Stir gently to coat the shrimp with the curry sauce.

STEP 9 – Simmer and Serve:

  • Let the shrimp simmer in the curry sauce for about 5-7 minutes or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Ensure not to overcook them, as they can become rubbery.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more salt or sugar according to your preference.

STEP 10 – Final Touch:

  • Once the shrimp are cooked, turn off the heat. Allow the curry to sit for a minute or two to meld the flavors.

STEP 11 – Serving:

  • Serve the Chinese Shrimp Curry hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, accompanied by steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

* You can also use light coconut milk if you prefer a lighter sauce.
