Spice-Rubbed Shrimp

in Creamy Cauliflower & Red Lentil Coconut Curry

Here’s a shrimp dish with some serious substance. It gets its deeply satisfying taste from warm Indian-minded spices that ride on the richness of coconut milk. To make the veggie curry, cauliflower and carrots get sautéed with garlic and tomato paste, with red lentils thrown in for an extra nutritious dimension. Finally, it’s showtime for the shrimp, marinated in spices and garlic so they are flavoursome through and through.

Preparation

Mise en place

Halve the carrots lengthwise; slice crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Halve the cauliflower florets (quarter if very large). Pat the shrimp dry with paper towel and remove the shells from the tails if desired. In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices, ½ the garlic and S&P. Set aside to marinate.

Start the curry

In a large pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Sauté the cauliflower florets and carrots, 3 to 4 min., until beginning to brown; season with S&P. Add the remaining garlic and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant. Add the tomato paste and remaining spices. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until dark red.

Continue the curry

To the pot of vegetables, add the coconut milk, demi-glace, lentils and 1 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions). Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 25 to 30 min., until slightly thickened and the lentils have softened; season with S&P and stir well.
