I'm not a big fan of coconut milk, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The curry was still very flavorful, even without the coconut milk. I served it with rice and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added more curry paste. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, though.
