Oriental "Golden Sunset" Curried Shrimp with Tomatoes and Chiles


Allow about 26-30 medium shrimp for 2 people. (If frozen, allow thawing in cold water first, then drain and pat dry.) Finely chop 6 cloves of garlic, let rest about 5 minutes to develop nutrients.
-----------
Saute shrimp in large pan with olive oil, add 2 tablespoons of crushed dried tomatoes and green and red chiles. Add 1 and 1/2 tablespoons S&B Oriental Curry, garlic, a handful of chopped green onions, 1/2 cup chicken broth, (more later if needed) 1 tblsp lemon juice. Saute until shrimp is done, and dried tomatoes and chiles are rehydrated. (5-7 minutes) If you like, you could rehydrate chiles and tomatoes in a bowl with a little chicken broth first before using.
-----------
NOTE: The dried red/green peppers and tomatoes: these were from our garden, sliced or chopped when freshly picked, then put in a dehydrator. After they were completely dried, put in sealed baggies in the freezer. The chiles we dried were a combination of red and green jalapenos, poblanos, and anaheims. If you don't have these, use fresh, but you might need more. The flavor of the dried is intense. (In fact we often use these crisp, dried tomatoes as chips for dipping with hummus, etc. We always store them in the freezer.)
------------
Serve over warm noodles or rice.
