Here is a dish that I usually make by request. My granddaughter loves shrimp curry and will try to pick out all the shrimp. Hey Ryssie! "Any shrimp left for me?"

Blue Ribbon Recipe

There's a fusion of flavors in this Hawaiian-style curry. The mix of butter, garlic, onions, fresh ginger, and curry powder is fantastic. When mixed with chicken stock and coconut milk, it creates a wonderful sauce for the protein to cook in. This can be made with shrimp or chicken. We did use the optional sugar to help balance the savory flavors, but it can be omitted.
