Tropical Shrimp Curry

We love curry!  
I had some mango habanero sauce and cut up pineapple in the fridge, 
so tropical shrimp curry was born!


First, I caramelized the cut up pineapple in a hot, hot pan.


Next, add some chopped veggies.  Anything really.  
I used corn from the farm stand and romano beans from the garden!
Add a little splash of water to steam the veggies.


Mix some cornstarch with curry powder.  I used some hot curry that I got on a trip to St Marteen!
Dry the shrimp on some paper towels and remove the tails, then toss in the cornstarch.


Once the veggies are close to done, add mango habanero sauce.  
You can use a purchased sauce or see the recipe below for an easy puree.
Bring to a boil, then reserve the saucy veggies in a serving bowl.


Meanwhile, make some white rice.  I always mix in a little butter cause it's yummier.


Clean your pan out and add a little oil.  Saute the shrimp until crispy brown goodness is achieved.


Top the saucy veggies with crispy shrimp and some chopped herbs.  Enjoy!

MANGO HABANERO SAUCE

1 Mango, cut into cubes
1 Habanero, seeds removed if you can't take the heat, I leave 'em!
1/2 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup water
2 TB sugar

Saute the mango, habanero, onion, and garlic over medium high heat to get some color.
When everything is soft, puree with water and sugar.
