𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶 𝘄/ 𝗖𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘁 & 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗳  Warming, spiced curry sauce is enriched with coconut milk, ginger, curry leaves, and scampi shells, bringing the salty, sweet, sour, and umami flavours. Curry leaf oil floats on the surface of the coconut curry sauce, adding a pop of colour and enhancing the flavour and piquancy.   This incredible scampi recipe came about by my experimentation and is damn so good! Thanks to my ongoing culinary learning and the unique cooking method, the scampi meat was perfectly moist, delicate and sweet. A unique recipe like no other, this refined dish is soon to feature on my multi-course tasting menu.   As with my contemporary culinary style, it is not claimed to be typically Sri Lankan but a fusion of techniques and ideas I discovered from my travels and continuous learning. Sri Lankan flavours are never far from most dishes I present.  Exotic recipes come alive in my kitchen with the combination of aromatic flavours and textures, which are designed to test the flavour senses of the guests. My culinary dream is to create and share food that delights, inspires and thrills my family and food aficionados. ========================= Follow me on Instagram here . @a_journey_of_flavour_by_sai =========================
