My family thinks that this is better then at our local Thai restaurant! You can use less or more of the red curry paste for less or more heat. We like it spicy!

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups light coconut milk
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup canned pineapple chunk, drained
1/2 lime, juice of
1 lb shrimp, precooked and shelled
1/3 cup basil leaves, minced (Asian, if available, but Italian will do)

Steps:

In a medium skillet or saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of the coconut milk over medium high heat, stirring often, until it starts to thicken and smell fragrant. This usually takes 3 minutes.
Add the curry paste and cook a minute or two, pressing and stirring it in the milk, to dissolve it. Stir in remaining coconut milk, water, fish sauce, sugar, pineapple and lime juice and bring to a gentle boil. Do not cover. Let cook a couple of minutes, then add shrimp and basil. Let all the flavors simmer for a few minutes. There's lots of liquid, so serve over rice.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh pineapple. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and rinse it before using.
If you don't have red curry paste, you can make your own by blending together dried red chilies, lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, shrimp paste, and garlic.
Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. They should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
Serve the curry with jasmine rice or your favorite noodles.
