This is my personal favorite shrimp curry. I just adore red curry with shrimp. Another quick and easy to make dish, that never disappoints.

THAI COCONUT RED CURRY WITH SHRIMP



Thai Coconut Red Curry with Shrimp image

Some years ago my friend's son took us to dinner in Wrigglyville (Chicago) to a place called Joy Noodles. I had the best red curry there I have ever had. It took awhile but I duplicated the recipe. I got a start by finding maybe 12 recipes online and finding the common ingredients. This is most excellent, and my own recipe.
