Shrimp Curry

1/4 cup butter
Half of one small onion, chopped
1/4 cup flour
4 to 5 teaspoons of curry powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups milk
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 and 1/2 pounds cleaned, cooked shrimp
Cooked white rice to go with

Melt butter over low heat. Saute onion in it for about five minutes. Remove from heat. Add flour, curry, sugar, salt, pepper, and ginger. Stir until the mixture gums up and cleans the bottom of the saucepan. (You can make this part early in the day and do the rest right before dinner.)

Add milk to the mixture gradually, stirring to incorporate evenly. Halfway through, put the saucepan back on the heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. The mixture will thicken. Add lemon juice, then shrimp. Stir until shrimp is heated through.

Serve over rice. Enjoy!
