CURRIED SHRIMP
This is an interesting version of Curried Shrimp. It is a rich sauce, but rather understated as curries go, and it very nicely showcases the delicate flavor of prime shrimp. Curried Shrimp is also a quick recipe to do, and is a natural for the tableside chafing dish.

This Curried Shrimp recipe is for two, but can easily be expanded for any number of diners.

1/4 cp. celery top
