Red Curry Crappie

2 T Red Curry Paste
2 T Butter
2 C Whole Milk
1 t chopped garlic
1 t paprika
20 or so Crappie Fillet

On a greased rimmed cookie sheet place fillets in a single level. Use the paprika, salt and pepper to taste and place in a 400 degree oven for no more than 10 minutes.

While the fish is in the oven, melt the butter in a skillet over med high heat. Add the garlic and curry paste to the butter and mix well. Add the milk and bring to a soft boil and combine well and remove from heat.

Remove fillets from oven and pour the red curry mixture over the fish and return to oven for an additional 5-10 minutes of baking time to thicken the sauce.

Serve over a bed of rice.

This is the curry paste I used. It was near the soy sauce and Raman noodles at Kroger.

Sounds interesting. I take it this is a spicy dish?
Did you come up with this one?

That curry paste has alot of the "spicy" taste without much of the burn so, I would place it in the "mild" category.

I sort of came up with it on my own. I like the green and red curry chicken that a place near work serves and know that they use coconut milk to thin the curry paste with.

I had the curry paste in the fridge from something or another a while back but, didn't have any coconut milk. (who does?) Anyway, I figured I'd try it with what I had, whole milk and butter to make the milk a little richer like heavy cream.

So yeah, I sort of came up with this exact mixture with influence from eating out.

The volumes in the recipe above are all approxiguestimations of what I did. I just sort of threw it all together. But, those amounts will get you real close to the way it needs to be.

man that sound great going to have to try that one. thanks for sharing

Sounds good-gona have to give it a try!
