Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the curry will taste. This is especially true for the shrimp, which should be fresh and never frozen.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for bell peppers, carrots, and snow peas, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include broccoli, zucchini, and mushrooms.
  • Make sure the curry is thick enough. The curry should be thick enough to coat the shrimp and vegetables. If it's too thin, add a little bit of cornstarch or tapioca starch.
  • Serve the curry with rice or noodles. Curry is traditionally served with rice, but you can also serve it with noodles or even quinoa.

Conclusion:

This Thai shrimp curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The curry is packed with flavor, thanks to the combination of coconut milk, red curry paste, and fresh herbs. The shrimp is cooked to perfection and the vegetables are tender and crisp. Serve the curry with rice or noodles and enjoy!
