Sugar Snap Pea & Shrimp Curry

May/June 2007

Your rating: None Average: 3.7 (35 votes)

This dish is best done at the last minute so the snap peas keep their crisp texture. The pink of the shrimp and the green peas make it as pretty as it is tasty.



READER'S COMMENT:
"We really enjoyed this simple, flavorful and quick-and-easy curry. I started with a saute of sliced onions, though. Then followed the recipe. "
