One Comment on “Red Curry Shrimp”
Aw, Whitney! You sure were my “Bond girl”! I have been searching for a really good red curry recipe for YEARS! My favorite Thai chef (affectionately called my Thai Mama) retired about 15 years ago and I’ve never been able to replicate her amazing Thai red curry (Americanized for sure). This was as close as I’ve ever been able to get! I’ve tried crazy authentic recipes, with homemade curry paste, lemongrass/ginger pastes,crushed dried shrimp and all that kind of stuff, and none have turned out tasty results like your easy recipe! I used chicken Instead of shrimp, since that is my preference, but what a simple exchange. Thank you so much for sharing. Ditto on your great pad Thai recipe. I will be sure to leave my rave review on that recipe as well. I’m SO HAPPY!!! Thank you! (PS, I had one big spoonful of this recipe and my husband DEVOURED the rest, he LOVED IT!)
