I had a fascinating month in Sweden recently. It seems that seafood is everywhere you look over there. It stands to reason, since the coastline is so long. Being a stranger to the ocean I wasn't used to seeing and eating so much fish.
While traveling, I found a new shrimp recipe. Now that I am back in America, I have been trying variations of it and the results have been delicious!
It's not hard to do but I have modified it to suit my own tastes. Start with a classic white cream sauce, which is just an emulsion of flour and butter with milk added, that you simmer until thickened.
Then add a crumbly cheese. This could be ricotta or bleu cheese or even parmesan. Let your imagination gotry new thingsor put in your favorites. You could probably use any cheese but so far I have only used the crumbly ones.
Then comes the curry! Add as much or as little as you would likeI prefer light curry. But remember that curry gets stronger the more you use and the longer you cook it so be careful. Then you stir in previously made pasta such as spaghetti and pre cooked shrimp.
I buy my shrimp frozen and precooked since I am not by a coast fresh is nearly impossible and raw frozen is not a lot of fun to deal with. There are many variations you can do on this shrimp recipe. You can turn it into a casserole for the entire family, you can hold the pasta separate and pile on the shrimp and sauce with a sprinkling of paprika and fresh cilantro and make your evening meal look expensive and elegant.
You can use an alfredo sauce that comes in a jar instead of making your own. If it is too thick coming out of the jar, it's alright to thin it with a little milk and then add your own special ingredients like garlic or anchovies or whatever turns you on.
