SHRIMP AND POTATO CURRY ROTI FILLING
The roti, the delectable, fat, folded-up curry sandwich that is Indian Trinidad's main contribution to world cuisine, is a thoroughly creole invention that has no equivalent in India. (The word roti, in India, describes a kind of griddle bread.) Trinidad's roti begins with an enormous, almost pizza-sized flat bread that's often layered with a thin coating of powdery ground yellow peas. In Trinidad's top roti shops along El Socorro and the Eastern Main Road, the bread is slapped on the griddle when you order; you can watch it hiss and bubble as you wait. Then it's tucked like a blanket around a meat, fish or vegetable curry, wrapped in wax paper and foil, and the hot square package placed in a paper bag with a stack of napkins.

Steps:
- Peel and clean the shrimp, reserving shells. Put the shrimp in a bowl and mix in the lime juice and chopped coriander stems (or shadowbene). Set aside for at least 1/2 hour.
- Meanwhile, place the reserved shrimp shells in a large stockpot and cover with a quart of water. Simmer over medium heat for 1 hour. Strain and reserve.
- In a large, deep skillet, heat the oil or ghee over medium high heat and saute the onions, stirring constantly, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they begin to stick to the pan and turn light brown. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add the curry powder and stir for 1 minute, taking care not to burn the spice. Add the chopped potatoes, stirring to coat with the curry-onion-garlic mixture.
- Add the Scotch bonnet pepper and 2 cups of the shrimp stock. Stir and bring to a simmer. Cover, and simmer slowly for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until the potatoes soften and begin to thicken the sauce. (If the mixture becomes too dry, add additional shrimp stock.)
- Add the marinated shrimps. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add salt to taste. Let cool a few minutes before adding to roti.
