I'm also a big fan, Juliev, but I've botched more dishes with this stuff than I'd care to fully admit. Here's one, courtesy of a colleague, that I find foolproof and downright good:
Curried Shrimp
1 onion and 2 stalks celery (mince together in food processor)
2 T. butter
2 T. flour
1 tsp. curry powder
1 bay leaf
2 C. of chicken broth (may need more…)
2 apples, peeled and chopped (tart ones)
Tabasco
Salt & pepper
2 lbs deveined shrimp
2 T. butter
Steamed Rice
Make a sauce by saute’ing the minced onion and celery in 2 T. butter until the onions are transparent. Add the flour and curry powder and allow the flour to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the broth, blending well, and bring to boil for full thickness. (If too thick, add more broth here.) Reduce to simmer and stir in apples, a dash or so of Tabasco (I’m generous), and the bay leaf. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes. Strain the sauce and set aside.
Saute’ the shrimp in the butter until cooked.
To serve, place a glob of steamed rice in a bowl, add a generous amount of shrimp, then top with a very generous amount of sauce. I sprinkle chopped parsley on top.
