Many years ago, Newfoundland welcomed Denis Parker, a blues musician from England. Denis settled here and quickly became one of the key figures in developing and organizing the local and provincial music industry. He talked about that on One Chef One Critic, and about English food and customs. Curry is almost a national dish in the UK, so we decided to have Denis help us prepare this gem featuring jumbo shrimp.
