How to Make Shrimp Curry With Coconut Milk And Sugar Snap Peas

In a large heavy skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 tablespoons curry powder. Sauté until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined), 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until shrimp is pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup chicken stock, and 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk. Continue stirring until the sauce is smooth and thickened, about 5 minutes.
Return the shrimp to the skillet along with 1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed.
Heat through for 2-3 minutes, until snap peas are tender-crisp.
Serve immediately over steamed rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions (optional).
