Caribbean Shrimp Curry
I adore Caribbean food. Its such a great combination of flavours with a very heavy influence from the Indian subcontinent. The food just exudes sunshine. I serve my shrimp curry with a boiled egg and plain steamed rice with extra scotch bonnet chilli sauce………but then I am a complete heat junkie so I would recommend passing on the extra chilli sauce!
Serves 2 (or 1 hungry person!)
