Also known as Jamaican curry shrimp, this is a classic Island way of preparing a spicy prawn curry.
Ingredients:
500g peeled prawns (king prawns, for preference)
2 tbsp margarine (or butter)
35g onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 1/2 tbsp plain flour
1 tbsp
Jamaican curry powder
1 tbsp lime juice
360ml lemon juice
360ml chicken stock
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp hot pepper sauce
1 tbsp chopped
parsley
Method:
Melt the margarine (or butter) in a frying pan, add the onion and garlic and fry gently for about 3 minutes. Scatter over the flour and curry powder and stir until smooth. Continue cooking for 3 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning then whisk in the lemon juice, stock salt and hot pepper sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook over low heat for 4 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add more stock, or water, as necessary then adjust the seasonings to taste. Stir in the prawns and cook until just pink and heated through. Add the lime juice, turn into a warmed bowl, garnish with the chopped parsley and serve, accompanied by steamed rice.
