$\"pomegranate$ <\/p>\n

Ever since making my Sri Lankan curry powder<\/a>, I’ve been keeping my eyes open for recipes to use up the extra curry leaves I’d popped in the freezer. When I saw this recipe using curry leaves and pomegranate molasses (one of my favorite<\/a> kitchen<\/a> staples<\/a>), I knew I had to try it. So when I accidentally bought shrimp too far in advance for planned shrimp cocktails (d’oh!), it was the perfect opportunity to give this recipe a shot. The flavors came together spectacularly (and quickly), and this dish made a perfect light dinner served atop a salad, although I think it would also be well-suited as an appetizer. I didn’t have a chance to grab a pomegranate, but I think the fresh seeds would take this over the top with an extra burst of color and flavor.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nPomegranate Curry Shrimp<\/span><\/strong> (adapted from NPR<\/a>)
\nYield: 4 – 6 appetizers or 2 – 3 entrees<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
1 1\/2 lb shrimp, shelled and deveined<\/span><\/li>\n
2 Tbsp pomegranate molasses<\/span><\/li>\n
2 – 3 cloves garlic, minced<\/span><\/li>\n
1\/2 tsp ground turmeric<\/span><\/li>\n
1\/2 tsp ground coriander<\/span><\/li>\n
1\/4 tsp <\/a> or crushed red pepper<\/span><\/li>\n
1\/4 tsp kosher salt<\/span><\/li>\n
2 Tbsp coconut oil<\/span><\/li>\n
2 – 3 shallots, thinly sliced<\/span><\/li>\n
1 sprig curry leaves (6 – 10 leaves)<\/span>*<\/li>\n
1 cup pomegranate seeds<\/span> (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
*Curry leaves have an unusual flavor and there is really no substitute (curry powder is made of completely different spices and has a very different flavor \u2013 do not try to use it here); you should be able to find them at an Indian market. Any leftover leaves will freeze very well.<\/p>\n
Method:
\n<\/p>\n
\n
In a large bowl, combine 1 1\/2 lb shrimp, shelled and deveined<\/em>, 2 Tbsp pomegranate molasses<\/em>, 2 – 3 cloves garlic, minced<\/em>, 1\/2 tsp ground turmeric<\/em>, 1\/2 tsp ground coriander<\/em>, 1\/4 tsp <\/a> or crushed red pepper<\/em>, and 1\/4 tsp kosher salt<\/em>. Mix well, and set aside.<\/li>\n
In a large skillet or sautee pan, heat 2 Tbsp coconut oil<\/em> over medium heat, then add 2 – 3 shallots, thinly sliced<\/em> and 1 sprig fresh curry leaves (6 – 10 leaves)<\/em>, and sautee until shallots are beginning to change color.<\/li>\n
Add the shrimp and marinade, and cook until the shrimp are cooked through, 3 – 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and sprinkle with 1 cup pomegranate seeds (optional)<\/em>. Taste, and add extra salt if needed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
