Pineapple shrimp curry
Report
This slightly speeded-up adaptation of a traditional Nyonya curry is quick to make but full of flavor - a wonderful sweet-spicy combination.

Instructions
- Put all of the ingredients for the spice paste - shallots, garlic, ginger, macadamia/cashews, lemongrass, chilis, turmeric and fish sauce/shrimp paste - in a food processor or blender and puree until you have a fairly smooth, blended paste.
- Warm the oil in a pan and fry the paste for around 5 min, stirring regularly so it doesn't stick.
- Add the pineapple chunks and ½cup/120ml of the juice from the cans. Stir and cook for around another 5min then add the coconut milk.
- Stir and cook for around 1-2min to warm through then add the shrimp/prawns. Simmer until the shrimp have changed color - they are opaque when cooked - and serve over rice.
