About this curry roasted shrimp recipe:

I love adding flavorful curry to dishes, and I created this recipe for a internationally-inspired ecookbook for Love With Food. It’s similar to my popular Oven Roasted Shrimp with Lemon and Garlic recipe and the Easy Baked Shrimp with Sweet Peppers I created for Whole Foods Market. Can you tell I’m all about shrimp in the oven? Roasting shrimp is so easy I’m doing it once a week.

About curry powder:

It’s hard to specifically cite a current cultural reference for curry, since the flavors are popular in the cuisines of India, the U.K., Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia and many other countries. This recipe calls for a British invention from the 18th century, curry powder. When Britain became involved in the Indian spice trade, a pre-mixed blend of common curry spices was developed for ease of use, rather than mixing the individual spices for each dish as the cooks in India do.  You can use any curry powder blend you wish, but I recommend a Vindaloo-style blend in this curry roasted shrimp recipe for its spicy kick.
