Curried Shark with Thai Red Rice and Alfafa Sprouts














Ingredients
1 Cup red Thai rice
8oz Shark cut into 1 inch cubes (Mako shark is best but sordfish is also a good substitute)
2 Tablespoons Vegetable oil
2 Tablespoons curry powder (Madras or yellow curry powder works best)
4 cloves garlic
1/2 medium onion
14 oz can coconut milk
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions
Curried Shark

1. Chop garlic and onion finely.
2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium flame until it is shimmering, then add garlic and onion.
3. When onion has turned translucent (after about 2 mins) add the curry powder to the mix. If it starts to dry up add a small amount of water (2-3 tablespoons)
4. Let curry past cook for about a minute and then add the shark.
5. Stir the shark until it is coated with the curry paste and then add the coconut milk.
6. Cover and let simmer on medium/ low for 10 minutes.

Rice
Cook rice as you would normally. (if you dont have a rice cooker I would strongly suggest you get one, it cooks the rice perfect every time)

Serve the curried shark on a bed of rice and top with a 1/4 cup of alfafa sprouts. The strong tase of the alfafa sprouts works well with the savory flavors of the curry and the nutty flavours of the rice.
