I make Indian and Thai curries all the time, and I'm thoroughly enthralled with this recipe. What makes it even better is that you can make the curry sauce two days ahead. Also the poached pears with the lemon zest lend a slight citrus and sweet taste that would pair nicely with a sauvignon blanc. [Amy Godwin] I love curry!

The shrimp needs to cooked less time than the recipe calls for so it won't be overdone. Once you have everything ready, it takes no time at all and has more flavor than other shrimp curries that I've made. [Deb Drinker] The dish was very good and had a lot of depth to it.

The fragrant curry sauce, sweet pears, and tender prawns were a perfect match for a side of my coconut rice. In addition, this is a quick and easy dish to prepare, perfect for company or a romantic dinner for two. [Shelly Sinton] This dish is lip-smacking wonderful.

The curry sauce cannot stand alone, the sweetness contributed by the pear was essential to round it out perfectly. The shrimp, pear, and curry flavors worked together well. Because of the intense flavors, I would recommend serving smaller portions as an appetizer. This is a recipe for someone who loves to cook—you get to marinade, juice, sauté, poach, zest, chop, toast, peel, and purée—all in one recipe. What's good about this recipe is that you can make the curry sauce ahead of time, which makes the recipe much less time consuming for a week night.
