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.

How To Make thai coconut red curry with shrimp

  • Step 1
    Heat oil in a wok or a large frying pan. Add the garlic and saute'. Add the curry, ginger and the thicker cream from the top of the coconut milk and whisk a bit. Add the rest of the coconut milk, all the rest of the ingredients EXCEPT THE SHRIMP. Whisk again.
  • Step 2
    Bring to a slow boil and simmer for 7 minutes, stirring every now and then. Add the shrimp and simmer until shrimp begins to curl and turn pink. Shrimp will get tough if cooked too long...
  • Step 3
    Serve over hot Jasamine rice and garnish with green onion.
