Beaufort Festival Shrimp Curry ( w/pics)

General Cooking your catch

Many years ago, I attended the water festival in Beaufort. They had a lot of restaurants and caterers selling seafood concoctions.
Kind of like “A Taste of Beaufort”.

One of the vendors, (I think it was a caterer) was serving a shrimp curry over rice topped with coconut and a Date sauce or Marmelade.

I have never forgotten that stuff. Can anyone provide a recipe, or the name of the caterer, or restaurant, that serves this?

I would REALLY appreciate it as it is Delish!

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of dust with a rod in one hand and a beer in the other,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming…

WOW -WHAT A RIDE!!!

That’s one of my ALL TIME favorite dishes from my late-great-Aunt.
Not too hard to fix…Just a good cream sauce w/ some sherry and curry added to taste. Dang Fine eatin.
I don’t know too much about the foo-foo add-ons like coco-date sauce
Always liked it basic.
Good luck on yuor hunt/inquiry.

Well the ■■■■■■■■ has led to deadends.
Did anyone who posted ever try the shrimp that I am referring too?
If you did, what were the toppings? I am think it was dates in some kind of sauce and shaved coconut. Can any one help?

If you can get the topping, the curry is easy. Put shrimp in a stainless bowl and add 1/8 cup of curry powder and about 3 tbsp of seasonall. Add 3 tbsp of olive oil and 1/4th cup of Hieneken, and mix by hand. In a big pot, heat 3-4 tbsp of olive oil. While oil is heating, peel and cube 3 meduim potatoes, chop 1/2-1 Habanero pepper, chop 3/4 of a medium onion, and chop up about a 1 tsp of garlic. Afte oil is hot, add above ingredients. Add Seasonall to taste and about 1/8 cup of curry powder. All ingredients should then be a nice yellow. Cook covered over medium-medium high for about 10 minutes stirring often so the potatoes don’t stick. After 10 minutes pour in the shrimp and stir. Add 1 tbsp of curry powder if you want more curry. The “go-by” is everything turns a nice yellow about the shade of a well used diaper. Add another 1/4 cup of Hieneken and mix well. Recover and let cook about 10 minutes, stirring often. After 10 minutes add 1 can of coconut milk (GOYA is available at Bi-Lo) and stir well. Recover and cook covered for an additional 10 minutes, stirring often. After this 10 minutes remove from the heat and let sit for 3-5 minutes to thicken. Spoon over rice and add your high speed topping if you wish. I prefer my curry without any topping. Total time from start to finish… about 35 minutes.

Okay, after researching this, I took my first shot at it.

For your viewing and culinary pleasure…or not

Chopped some chive and vidalia, browned the onions in some butter and curry powder.
Then added shrimp and some water

Then simmered and added some more curry stuff

Cooked up some rice, shaved some coconut, and some chilled Apricot preserves, ingredients shown here

Assembled by spooning some rice into bowl ladeled 3-4 large Bulls Bay shrimp over the erice, add a dallup of Apricot and sprinkled ccoconut shavings over it, voila!

It went real fast, and another, and another…

Not bad for a first shot, It was very good, better than I expected but not exactly like I recall in Beaufort so many years ago. Y=That stuff left a lasting imprssion on me.
I think a different preserve is in order, I am searching for a Date sauce
