Return to Spinach Recipes Index

• Ingredients:
• 2 pounds spinach, washed and trimmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 medium onions, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 fresh green chiles, minced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 2 pounds medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
• Hot cooked rice

Method:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spinach and cook for about 30 seconds. Drain well and roughly chop.

Heat the oil over medium-low heat in a large saucepan. Add the onions, garlic, chiles, and all of the spices. Saute until the onions are golden, about 10 minutes. Do not let the mixture burn or get too brown.

Stir in the shrimp, increase the heat to medium-high and cook until the shrimp are just white and firm, about 5 minutes.

Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the buttermilk and spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Add cayenne to taste, if desired. Toss and cook over low heat until the spinach is heated through. Serve your delicious Spinach and Shrimp Curry hot over rice.
