Seafood Curry with crookneck squash

November 11, 2021 By Elsie Kriz Filed Under: RECIPE

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Heart warming bowl of seafood curry with salmon, shrimp and some crookneck squash from this summers’ harvest. The crookneck squash is quite similar to the butternut squash but just a tart sweeter. Especially if it’s a fresh harvest. In all honesty we had so much squash this year, I heard a few ” Please not squash again!” mumbles. So we took a break from it for about a month and this bowl right here is the best way to start off again with squash.

We are using salmon and shrimp for the seafood but you are welcome to substitute or add on. A great option if your are on a plant based diet will be tofu. This pinto beans and butternut squash soup is a great vegan option.

SEAFOOD CURRY MARINADE

We marinated the shrimp and salmon together as it really is unnecessary to do so separately. Essiespice coco for garlic goes a long way but if you can also use some salt, black pepper and garlic. Something simple just to build up some flavor with the seafood. 15 to 20 minutes is long enough without any citrus ( like lime or lemon).

TIPS / COOKING THE SEAFOOD

Shrimp cooks in not time and gets quite chewy if overcooked. So it is important to sear for just about a minute on each side. Sear salmon for about a couple of minutes on each side too. When returning seafood into skillet , add salmon about 3 minutes before shrimp goes in. Avoid breaking salmon by gently shaking skillet to stir or use a wooden spoon to gently stir.

Despite our overabundance and almost boredom with squash , this is the comeback we all needed. This bowl will definitely not be taking a break. Its simple, made with ingredients you probably already have around. Hope you get to enjoy a bowl soon. Don’t forget to share with us what you’ve been cooking from the afrovitalityeats kitchen.
