Crunchy Curried Shrimp or Fish image

This was the first recipe I made out of Mark Bittman's huge cookbook "Best Recipes in the World". It was years ago, but I still remember it. My notes simply said "Yum!".

Categories     Seafood

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 - 2 lb shrimp, bigger the better, peeled or any fish fillet
1 Tbsp vinegar, any kind
salt to taste
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp ground tumeric
2 tsp curry powder or garam masala
1/4 tsp cayenne, optional
peanut or vegetable oil for frying
2 c flour
lime wdges
cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
  • 2. Toss the shrimp or fish with the vinegar. Combine the salt, pepper, tumeric, curry powder, and cayenne, if using, and rub this mixture into the fish.
  • 3. Put at least 1/8 inch of oil in a large nonstick skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. Combine the flour with enough warm water to make a paste about as thick as yogurt.
  • 4. When the oil is hot (a pinch of flour will sizzle), dip each piece of shrimp into the batter and cook, raising the heat to high and rotating the pieces as necessary to promote even browning, until golden and crisp on each side, 5 to 8 minutes total. Do not crowd; you will have to cook in batches. As each piece is done, keep it warm in the oven while you continue to cook.
  • 5. Serve with the lime, garnish with the cilantro.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. The curry sauce is delicious and the shrimp is cooked perfectly.

This recipe is a fail. The shrimp was tough and the curry sauce was bland.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the curry sauce was too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use less curry powder.

The shrimp was a bit overcooked, but the curry sauce was still good.
