    Is there anything better than buttery seafood? The smell of shrimp roasting with butter is one of utter perfection. Slightly salty, super buttery, lightly spiced and with enough lemon to cut through the richness I challenge you not to lick your fingers as you pick up these delicious curried lemon butter shrimp.

    Curried Lemon Butter Shrimps(Prawns) Succulent, fragrant and finger lickingly delicious. These shrimps are so amazing!

    Add a big tray of these to the table, serve up some crusty bread and let everyone dig in. It may not to elegant but it will be amazing!

    You could also tip the whole tray of glorious buttery shrimp over a bowl of fluffy white rice. Or serve them as a topping for jacket potatoes, maybe with a sprinkling of cheese. Curry and cheese works surprisingly well!

    Homemade Curry Powder. Quick, easy, natural AND it tastes so much better than your store bought brands.The curry in this dish is subtle, it is an undertone rather than the dominant flavour. Think of these not as a curried shrimp, but more as shrimps that danced next to the curry powder.

    I either use my homemade curry powder for this dish (get the recipe here), or a mild korma blend of curry powder, it adds a sweet aromatic curry hint rather than a fiery bite.

    But if you have a favourite powder then substitute that in. For chilli fiends a generous pinch of cayenne pepper will perk everything up.

      I agree with you. Butter + seafood of any form = perfection! Love the addition of curry in this, I haven't tried it but can totally imagine it!
