Seafood Curry
Curry is one of the best dishes you will ever have especially if you love different mix of spices, just imagine mixing that with different types of seafood it will surely be an explosion of different flavours in every bite. If you read my blog posts then I guess you already noticed that I love seafood a lot and will not turn down any seafood dish that is served in front of me that is why this recipe will be a rendition of the famous curry but instead of using chicken or beef we will use a mix of fish, scallops and shrimps. I haven’t cooked this dish for a while but after reading PurpleBird’s Blog regarding shrimp curry that definitely made me crave for something curry and seafood that is why I did eventually made my own.

300g medium-sized shrimps, deveined

Raymund, what magnificent flavours and ingredients in this curry – it has been far too long since I had a seafood curry.

Curries – the common dish at home, I am more for the soups but my hubby loves curries, thats why I learned to cook so many diff varieties. Plenty though of seafood inside Raymund, looks so inviting.
Yum, time for some curry here too I think! I’m allergic to shellfish seems to be the stuff with hinges are a problem but shrimp are ok and so are fish, so I could tweek the recipe to sort that out ok.
I even have everything except the coconut milk in the house so it’s going onto the shopping list and we will see how soon we can make this!
I’ll have to pick a quiet day ‘cos it will be Himself actually making it, but if he’s up for this and makes it, I will post and let you know
I like the spice combination here! May have to post this for one of the Test Kitchen Tuesdays
What an honour
This looks fantastic. I live along the shore and I love seafood dishes. What kind of white fish do you like to use for this?
Thanks!

I used monk fish but sometimes I use oil fish, whichever is on season and reasonably priced
Oh how i love seafood dishes too! This certainly makes a good variation to curry dishes! Looks so mouth watering!
Wow this sounds delicious! I love anything soaked in a curry sauce! Thanks for sharing!
Curry sounds delicious of seafood. I don’t eat a lot of curry but I can tell by reading this recipe that this dish will be full of flavor and excitement inside your mouth. I love it. As always, wonderful recipe
Gosh, I had a craving of this last last week but I was too busy to cook!
This looks really good! I’m always trying to find something to do with seafood and end u regularly going back to garlic, butter and lemon. It gets boring but this looks delicious.
