Curry Infused Shrimp With Watermelon Rind Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• Remove watermelon flesh from rind and reserve flesh for another use. Scrape off and discard any remaining pink flesh from rind, then cut rind crosswise into 2-inch-wide strips and remove green peel with a Y-shaped vegetable peeler or a sharp knife. Discard green peel. Cut white rind into 1/2-inch cubes (you will have 5 to 6 cups).
• Bring rind and remaining ingredients to a boil in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until rind is tender and translucent and liquid is syrupy, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool chutney, uncovered, then chill in an airtight container 1 to 3 days to allow flavors to mellow.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a stockpot over medium heat; cook and stir red onion, red bell pepper, garlic, and ginger until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Mix watermelon, tomatoes, lime juice, curry powder, salt, and sugar into onion mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until watermelon and tomatoes are slightly broken down, about 10 minutes.
• Fill 4 clean jars with chutney, seal, and turn upside down to mix for 5 minutes. Turn right-side up and refrigerate.

Steps:

• To Prepare the Watermelon Rind Chutney Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until thickened and the watermelon rinds are translucent, about 1 hour. Allow to cool, ladle into sterilized glass jars and seal tightly. Will keep in the refrigerator for up to a month. To Prepare the Curry Infused Shrimp Combine the water and curry powder in a large steam kettle. Arrange the shrimp in tight curls on a steamer basket, place in the kettle and cover with a tight fitting lid. Bring the water to a boil and steam for about 3 to 5 minutes, just long enough for shrimp to turn pink and tender. Remove shrimp immediately and arrange on an attractive serving platter. Spoon a small dollop of chutney into the curl of each shrimp. Serve warm or chilled.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wok or large saucepan over nearly high heat. Add the onions; cook and stir until browned. Mix in the curry leaves, then season with the ginger garlic paste, coriander and salt. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
• Season with salt and turmeric, then mix in the tomato, chile powder, shrimp and water. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, until shrimp are opaque. Taste and adjust salt and chile powder if necessary. Season with garam masala, stir and remove from the heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with flat bread or rice.
