bball.gif (926 bytes) 1 lb. fresh, delicious Southeast Alaska prawns (the smaller the better)
bball.gif (926 bytes) 1 medium chopped onion
bball.gif (926 bytes) 3 TBS butter
bball.gif (926 bytes) 2 TBS flour
bball.gif (926 bytes) 2 TBS curry powder
bball.gif (926 bytes) 1 tsp. salt
bball.gif (926 bytes) 1 1/2 cups milk with 1/2 cup of water
bball.gif (926 bytes) Cayenne pepper

Boil and shuck the prawns. When they float, they're done!

Saute the onion in the butter. Over medium heat, add the flour, curry powder, and salt, stirring frequently. Add a dash of pepper for flavor.

When it makes a pasty product, remove to a double boiler and add the milk/water mixture slowly, stirring frequently to thicken up your creation. When it reaches a nice warm temperature, add shrimp. Remove from heat and let stand a few minutes.

Add cayenne pepper to taste (I recommend about 1 teaspoon).

Makes 3 really healthy servings.
