How to Make Bubba Gump's Creamy Shrimp Curry

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add shrimp and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until pink and opaque. Drain immediately and rinse with cold water.
  2. Heat butter and peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Whisk in flour and curry powder until smooth.
  4. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly.
  5. Gradually whisk in broth and coconut milk (or heavy cream). Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
  6. Continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  7. Stir in sugar, salt, grated ginger, and lemon juice.
  8. Add cooked shrimp to the sauce and heat through, about 2 minutes. Do not overcook.
  9. Serve the shrimp curry hot over cooked white rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro, chopped green onions, or a squeeze of extra lime juice (optional).
