Dinner at Home


Shrimp and Chinese Brocolli Coconut Curry
This recipe was adapted from Vij's cookbook--adapted mainly because I did not have the curry leaves on hand. Also, the curry was to be served with halibut, and I had shrimp and Chinese brocolli instead. It was delicious--creamy, yet tart surprisingly tart from the tomatos. All in all, a great one dish meal.

-1 large onion, pureed
-1 lb tomatos, finely diced
-1 head garlic, minced
-1/4 cup veggie oil
-1 ts curry powder
-1 ts coriander
-1 ts cumin
-1 ts chili pepper
-1 tb salt
-1 can coconut milk
-2 cups water
-1 lb shrimp, peeled
-1 1 lb Chinese brocolli, trimmed and cut into 1" pieces

Heat the oil in a pan. When it is hot add the garlic and stir continuously until the garlic is beginning to color. Add the pureed onion and the curry powder and sautee until onions are golden. Add the tomatos and all of the spices and sautee for 5 minutes. Add the coconut milk and water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and add the Chinese brocolli. Cover and simmer for about 1/2 hour or until a thick sauce has formed. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 or 3 minutes, until the shrimp are just cooked.
