Some of the greatest seafood curries originate along the southern coast of India where Shrimp, Fish and other seafood are plentiful. This Shrimp curry is an authentic South Indian dish, where the fragrant spices impart a deep color and rich flavor. You can prepare the dish as hot as you like by increasing the spices. My girls' favorite dish. Enjoy!
