CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE THAI CURRY

These Curry recipe is very flexible. You can use any Thai Curry flavor. I often use the exact same recipe and just change the Thai curry paste: Green Curry Paste, Red Curry Paste, and Yellow Curry Paste. Pick the one you like and make Coconut Shrimp Yellow Curry/Or Green Curry.

Note: When time-pressed, and out of homemade curry pastes, I use Thai Kitchen Red Curry Paste. It is 100% gluten free and vegan.

Tip: You can also replace Shrimp with tofu for a Vegetarian Red Curry. (Check fish sauce substitute in Recipe Card Notes)

Let me summarize why should you try this recipe tonight:

1. Coconut Milk - Creamy restaurant-style Red Curry without cream. You can keep low-fat with lite Coconut Milk.
2. Thai Curry - Use any Thai curry flavor. I used Red Curry. Green and Yellow works perfect.
3. Curry with succulent lean shrimp which makes it more lean and healthy weeknight dinner. Gluten free, Nuts Free (only tree nut - coconut used).
4. Shrimp cooks super fast, so curry comes together perfectly in 25 minutes. Still bursting with sweet and spicy Thai curry flavors.
5. Curry stays good for up-to a 1-2 days in refrigerator. You can also make just the Red Curry Sauce and it will stay good for 3-4 days. Add protien of choice when reheating.

Let's head to directions and enjoy this easy recipe for Coconut Curry Shrimp for dinner. (Don't forget to serve Jasmine Rice on the side.)
