This time I wanted to prepare “quick” dishes. It’s summer and I’m not in a mood to cook or spend too much time in the kitchen. 🙂 So I searched for some quick and easy Guyanese recipes and found only two that appealed to me. Both dishes turned out to be great and needed to be remembered.

Guyanese Shrimp Curry

These shrimps had such bright, but not overwhelming or dominant, spiciness to them that even my husband did not complain (usually he doesn’t like spicy food).The original recipe contains some ingredients that are not readily available in my nearby supermarket, so I had to make some substitutions. Here is the modified recipe. Shrimp Curry

Guyanese Coconut Buns

We really enjoyed them. They were sweet, soft and delicate. I think the base of the batter for this recipe closely resembles the scone type of batter but sweeter and wetter. Coconut flakes add exotic flavor so they are no longer recognizable as scones. Coconut Buns
