Coconut Shrimp Curry
by LordDrow
Description
When making a curry, toast or warm the curry paste in liquid first, before adding other ingredients, to bring out the fragrant, complicated flavors. Opt for red curry paste as opposed to green, which is spicier, and make sure you use unsweetened coconut milk; not the thick, sweetened kind. We like to serve this over brown rice, but watch the curry it cooks quickly and it will be done before the rice is finished cooking.
