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 is easy to do, but this is my 'Americanized' version. You start by making the standard white cream sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan, add flour, stir and brown to make a rue. To thicken you add milk and let simmer.
A crumbly type of cheese is now added - such as ricotta, bleu, or parmesan. Be creative - make up your own kind of dishes. Experiment with different textures and flavors of cheese. You can use your old-time favorites or try something new.
Next you add curry. You season it to taste so maybe you should start with light curry like I do. Just remember that it will get stronger the longer you cook it. Next add the pasta and shrimp that you have already cooked to perfection.
If you don't live near a coast, it's best to buy frozen, pre cooked shrimp. Fresh shrimp may be difficult to find, and raw frozen shrimp is not a lot of fun to clean and cook. This shrimp recipe is very versatile. You can turn it into a casserole that will feed your whole family. Or for a more expensive and elegant look, you can keep the pasta seperate and pile shrimp and sauce on top. Add a sprinkling of paprika and fresh cilantro and you've easily turned an ordinary meal gourmet!
You could also skip the slaving away at the sauce event and opt to use a pre-made alfredo sauce. Although many pre-made alfredos are quite think and rich, you can thin it out a bit with milk and then add your cheese(s), curry, onion, garlic and whatever else you come up with to throw in.
