Tips:

  • Use the freshest seafood available. Fresh shrimp and calamari will have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen seafood.
  • If you can't find fresh seafood, you can use frozen seafood. Just be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the seafood. Shrimp and calamari cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Otherwise, they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality Thai red curry paste. The curry paste is the base of the dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a curry paste that is made with fresh, flavorful ingredients.
  • Adjust the amount of curry paste to your taste. If you like your curry spicy, add more curry paste. If you prefer a milder curry, use less curry paste.
  • Use coconut milk to make the curry creamy and rich. Coconut milk is a key ingredient in Thai red curry. It adds a creamy, rich flavor to the dish.
  • Add vegetables to the curry for extra flavor and nutrition. Vegetables such as bamboo shoots, bell peppers, and carrots are all good choices.
  • Serve the curry with rice or noodles. Thai red curry is traditionally served with rice or noodles. You can also serve it with naan bread or roti.

Conclusion:

Thai red curry shrimp and calamari is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The curry is flavorful and creamy, and the shrimp and calamari are cooked to perfection. Serve it with rice or noodles, and you have a complete meal that everyone will enjoy.
