COCONUT-SHRIMP CURRY

Steps:

• Combine salt, black pepper, and red pepper in a large bowl. Add water to make a fine paste. Add shrimp and toss, making sure shrimp are well coated. Refrigerate while making the sauce.
• Combine water and coconut in a microwave-safe bowl and cook in the microwave oven for 1 hour. Strain and reserve water; discard coconut. Set coconut water aside.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add curry leaf and chile peppers. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Add onion and cook until browned, adding water as needed to prevent sticking, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add ginger paste and garlic paste and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add coriander, sambar powder, and turmeric and stir for 1 minute. Add reserved coconut water and marinated shrimp. Cook until shrimp are curled and opaque, adding more water as needed, about 5 minutes more. Season with black pepper and salt.

SHRIMP AND BAMBOO SHOOT CURRY

Steps:

• Marinate the shrimp in the lemon juice and salt for 1 hour.
• Heat the oil in a pan (a dekshi in Calcutta), add the onion, and stir fry it over moderate heat until it turns light brown. Add the garlic and ginger and stir fry another minute. Add the tomato and mix well.
• Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric and chili flakes and stir for a minute or two to integrate all the seasonings. Add the shrimp and marinade, bamboo shoots, and the coconut milk and water. Simmer the mixture over low heat for 15-20 minutes. Adjust the salt if necessary.
• Remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes, which allows the coconut milk to be absorbed by the shrimp and bamboo shoots. Garnish with the fresh coriander.
• Serve warm with white rice and a variety of table chutneys and pickles.
