Recently, I was able to spend some time in Sweden. I was surprised to learn that seafood is very much a part of their culture. I guess the ocean is all around them, so that only makes sense, but being from the midwest, I just didn't think about it!
In my travels I was introduced to a shrimp recipe that I had never tried before and now that I am back in America I have been experimenting with this recipe and so far things have been surprising and wonderful.
It's not hard to do but I have modified it to suit my own tastes. Start with a classic white cream sauce, which is just an emulsion of flour and butter with milk added, that you simmer until thickened.
A crumbly type of cheese is now added - such as ricotta, bleu, or parmesan. Be creative - make up your own kind of dishes. Experiment with different textures and flavors of cheese. You can use your old-time favorites or try something new.
Then comes the curry! Add as much or as little as you would likeI prefer light curry. But remember that curry gets stronger the more you use and the longer you cook it so be careful. Then you stir in previously made pasta such as spaghetti and pre cooked shrimp.
Fresh shrimp is next to impossible to get where I live so I always buy it frozen and precooked, which is more convenient anyway. You can modify this recipe a number of ways. You can put it all together in a casserole dish for a big event or do it just like you see in the restaurant with a fancy garnish on a decorative plate.
You can use an alfredo sauce that comes in a jar instead of making your own. If it is too thick coming out of the jar, it's alright to thin it with a little milk and then add your own special ingredients like garlic or anchovies or whatever turns you on. - 15359
