Ingredients

5 tbsp butter

0.5 cup minced yellow onion

2.5 tsp curry powder

0.5 cup all-purpose flour

1.5 tsp white sugar

1.25 tsp salt

0.25 tsp ground ginger

2 cups milk

1 cup chicken broth

1.5 lbs cooked medium shrimp, shelled and deveined

1 tsp lemon juice

4 cups cooked rice

Directions

In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Cook and stir the onion and curry powder until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes.

Add flour, sugar, salt, and ginger to the pot; stir until fully incorporated.

Gradually pour in milk and chicken broth, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until the mixture is hot and thickened, around 5 minutes.

Stir in the shrimp and cook until they're heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add lemon juice.

Serve by placing 2/3 cup rice on one side of a plate. Spoon about 1 cup of the shrimp curry onto the center of the rice. Repeat with remaining rice and shrimp curry. Customize with additional condiments as desired.
