Coconut Curry Shrimp - don't forget to read the label
« Reply #-1 on: February 19, 2016, 09:44:50 PM »
Decided to make my wife a nice meal after a long week - Coconut Curry Shrimp. 

Everything was going fine, adding the spices to the mix using Penzey's "The New Curry".  As I was adding the spices I thought, this smells a lot like cinnamon...it was cinnamon!  Decided to add the curry any way - actually turned out pretty good.

Sometimes things work out for the best.  Sometimes it's better to be lucky rather than good.  :-\

Like cinnamon, not so much on the curry, but I would be willing to give it a try.

"The Now :'(Curry" spice from Penzey's   They describe it as a newer style of curry that has a brighter, fresher taste than typical curry. Not as strong or heavy as other curry I've tried

Here's the recipe if anyone is interested

• 1 red pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 small head cauliflower, cut into florets (4 c.)
• 1 15-oz. can coconut milk
• 3/4 lb. medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
• 3 c. baby spinach
• Red pepper flakes, for garnish

DIRECTIONS
1. In a small pot, combine rice,1½ cups water, and a pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, 18

cover until ready to use.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high
heat. Add garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, and curry and cook
