I'm not a fan of quinoa, but I thought this curry was still pretty good.

This curry was really easy to make, but it didn't have a lot of flavor.

The curry was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my curry turned out too spicy. Next time, I'll use less curry paste.

I love how this curry is so versatile. I was able to use frozen shrimp and quinoa, and it still turned out great.
