Steps:
- For the Naan bread: Whisk the yeast and sugar into the water and allow to stand for a few minutes until foamy.
- Add 2½ cups flour and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment.
- Pour in the yeast mixture, yogurt and oil. Knead on low speed until the dough comes together. If the dough is very sticky add more flour.
- Allow to knead until the dough is soft and smooth. Cover with a damp tea towel and allow to rise for 1 hour.
- Once risen, break off small handfuls of the dough and roll out on a floured surface.
- Heat a large skillet then add the dough. Cover with a lid and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes until the dough is blistered. Carefully flip over and allow to cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
- Remove from the pan and brush with melted butter.
- For the curry: Season the shrimp with salt and garam masala and toss well. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large, deep frying pan and brown the shrimp on both sides. Remove and set aside.
- To make the sauce, melt the butter in the pan then add the onions. Cook until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, ginger and spices and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Add the stock, sugar, cream and lemon juice. Bring the sauce to a simmer then allow to cook for 7-10 minutes or until the sauce has reduced slightly. I prefer the sauce to be a little looser in consistency but you can thicken the sauce with cornstarch/corn flour if you prefer a thicker sauce.
- Once the sauce is the consistency you like, add the shrimp back in to the sauce and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
- Serve the curry with rice and naan bread.

CURRIED SHRIMP AU GRATIN
Steps:
- Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan, and cook the onion and celery over medium heat until tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Whisk in the flour, salt, and curry powder until smooth; let cook for a minute or two. Gradually whisk in the milk, and bring almost to a boil, whisking constantly until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in sugar, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese; whisk until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
- Spread the cooked rice out into the prepared baking dish, and top with the cooked shrimp in an even layer. Cover the shrimp with the cheese sauce; push the tines of a fork all over the casserole between the shrimp to allow the sauce to soak into the rice. Top the casserole with the remaining Cheddar cheese, and garnish with paprika.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and browned, about 30 minutes.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all of your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you save time and avoid scrambling.
- Use fresh, succulent shrimp: The freshest shrimp you can find will yield the best results. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slight briny smell.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Cook them until they are just opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use a flavorful curry paste: The curry paste is the key to a great curry dish. Choose a paste that has a good balance of spices and flavors.
- Add vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, color, and texture to curry dishes. Common vegetables to add include onions, peppers, carrots, and potatoes.
- Use coconut milk: Coconut milk adds a rich, creamy texture to curry dishes. You can use canned or fresh coconut milk.
- Season to taste: Once the curry is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more curry paste, salt, or pepper.
Conclusion:
Alice's Curried Shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its fragrant curry sauce and tender shrimp, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with rice or your favorite naan bread.
