Curried Shrimp

I made this recipe last week with some frozen raw shrimp I had in the freezer. I made a few modifications to it, but I'm still going to just link to the recipe on Martha Stewart's website. This recipe came from my Fresh Flavors Fast cookbook from Everyday Food. The Everyday Food cookbooks are by far my favorites. The recipes are easy, fast and are always a hit.

Here's the link to the recipe:

Here are a few modifications I made to the recipe:

• I used a handful of grape tomatoes instead of plum, but I would suggest using what the recipe calls for
• I cut a orange bell pepper into big chunks instead of the jalapeno pepper
• I used plain Greek style yogurt instead of whole milk yogurt
• For the curry powder, all I had was sweet curry powder, which was fine, but I would add another tsp or two to up the curry flavor next time
• For the rice, I used brown jasmine rice, but the basmati would be more authentic (I think you can buy brown basmati if you're like me and try to stay away from the white)

Overall this was a very tasty dinner for a hot, steamy night. We could sort of pretend we were in India! I paired this with watermelon for a sweet, refreshing side and some limeade for a great summer meal!

Enjoy!
