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. Itโsย similar to my popularย Oven Roasted Shrimp with Lemon and Garlicย recipe and theย Easy Baked Shrimp with Sweet Peppers I created for Whole Foods Market. Can you tell Iโm all about shrimp in the oven? Roasting shrimp is so easy Iโm doing it once a week.
About curry powder:
Itโs 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. ย You can use anyย curryย powderย blend you wish, but I recommend aย Vindaloo-style blendย in this curry roasted shrimp recipe for its spicy kick.
