'Curried Shrimp with Snow Peas' and 'Saffron Rice with Carrot, Raisins and Pine Nuts'

This is an old favorite that we used to make often but have not made in at least the past four years.  My brother came out for a visit, so we thought it a good excuse to make this more elaborate dish.  It is a recipe from the show that used to air on TLC called "Take Home Chef", and it is more time-consuming to prepare, so my husband helped me.

Curried Shrimp with Snow Peas

We made some modifications to this recipe that are as follows:  

Roma tomatoes instead of plum tomatoes (I couldn't find plum tomatoes)

We left out the coconut milk
We used chicken instead of shrimp
We used sugar snap peas instead of snow peas, although we forgot to add them this time, oops...

Saffron Rice with Carrots, Raisins and Pine Nuts

We used golden raisins, and Trader Joe's sells decently-priced saffron.
