How to Make Curried Chicken Or Shrimp With Cinnamon Basmati Rice
- Zest two oranges using a citrus zester or the fine side of a grater. Reserve zest.
- Juice the oranges and set aside 1/4 cup of juice.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 pound shrimp (or 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces), 3 teaspoons curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of the orange zest and toss to coat.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook shrimp for 2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque (or chicken until cooked through). Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 celery stalks, chopped. Cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon dried oregano and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder. Cook for 1 minute more.
- Pour in the reserved 1/4 cup orange juice and 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes.
- Return the cooked shrimp (or chicken) to the skillet. Heat through, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and the remaining orange zest.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Meanwhile, cook 1 cup basmati rice according to package directions, adding 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the cooking water. Stir in 1/4 cup golden raisins during the last minute of cooking.
- Serve the curried shrimp (or chicken) over the cinnamon basmati rice. Garnish with fresh oregano sprigs.
