Fast & Easy Dinner: Shrimp Curry and Rice
Seafood is typically consumed on Good Friday and I suggest you go exotic and make this simple shrimp curry. Served over rice, this is a fragrant and delicious meal. The shrimp is cooked with an onion, mustard seed, curry, and coconut mixture. A large sprinkling of cilantro and a healthy serving of carrots round out the dish. For the recipe please, read more.
