Great Chris! We used to add sliced green mangoes to some fish and curry shrimp rather than green pepper. Adds a bit of a sour touch. We used Lalah's or Indi Madras curry powder in Guyana but when we first started cooking here we stuck with Sun Brand Madras curry because it was all we could find. Typically we would add some garam masala or parched and ground geera near the end of cooking. Now we generally mix our our spices–mostly coriander, cumin and turmeric with fenugreek, methi etc but it's probably more Indian than Caribbean. We never ground our spices from scratch in Guyana but the older folks would on a "sill" which was like a flat stone mortar and pestle. Just writing this bring back memories of some great food and great times. Our shrimps were very small and you couldn't peel them fully. You'd pull off the legs and head and cook the body. Then you'd just crunch thru the shell as you ate the curry.

Chris, thank you so much for doing this. I really appreciate all your good work!

thanks Chris you too sweet. your curry sounds nice but i make my own curry mix & so have control of the flavour my curry is this. 2tbs of garam masala [ good quality] 1/2 tsp of ground coriander 1tsp of cumin 1tsp tumeric, mix well & lightly toast then proceed to cook whaever you have in mind. if you are cooking goat or duck add ground mathee it helps cut out the gaminess of the meats & of shadobeni.chopped finely for these meats also increase the garammasla by a little & add a pinch of amcharmasala. of course in all the dishes coconut milk. Enjoy! antoinette [aka Toni]

I believe recipes are mostly guidelines and everyone adds/takes away what doesn't work for them. If only I could say the same for the snow up here LOL> Great recipe.

Hey Chris…Basically my curry shrimp is d same as yours, but i use pimento peppers instead of sweet peppers, and I season the shrimp with a bit of my green seasoning mix (shadon beni, celery, chives,garlic, ginger,thyme etc.) Its fantastic!!!!!

Thank you Chris for these awesome recipes… My partner is from Trinidad and I'm from India… so we do have the same conflict of 'Shrimp Curry' and 'Curry Shrimp'…either way, we are both right and the 'Shrimp Curry' tastes great… LOL

Hi everybody,

Try adding two blimbings, without seeds, cut in pieces (in Suriname we say "lange birambi") along with the shrimps. Sensational !!
I use Surinamese ARVA curry powder. Great blend.

By: Natalie

made this last night and me and my boyfriend loved it! i used scotch bonnet hot sauce because i didnt have any peppers on hand. also added a bit of all purpose seasoning and red chilli pepper flakes for a bit more kick. this is definitely a keeper recipe and very easy to follow, thanks!

I am looking forward to try the curry shrimp, when i make my curry shrimp i use coconut milk and not water. I know it might be a little too rich for others but when you try it you will see it taste great. I also add cilantro.
