Yellow Shrimp Curry

If there’s one thing I grew up eating a lot of, it’s curry. It was one of my momma’s weekly dishes.
Some may assume that the addition of coconut milk is what classifies a dish as “curry”, however, that’s not the case. Originating in India, curry is broad and emcompasses the combination of spices, simmering and slow cooking, and depending on the variation, uses herbs as well.

A number of cultures have their own rendition of a dreamy, robust-flavored curry dish. I’ve tried Indian, Jamaican, African, Thai, and Japanese variations of curries, and although each has its own distinct flavors–sweet, sour, spicy–and textures, one commonality is that they all yield robust and comforting flavors.

This variation of yellow curry is a simplified version and includes the use of curry powder, coconut milk and fish sauce. If you’re teetering on adding fish sauce–DO IT. The addition deepens the flavors and rounds out the dish.
