Shrimp with Green Curry

"Not as spicy as you'd think! The depth of flavors in the curry paste is outstanding. You can also use the curry paste and coconut milk with chicken or beef. Source: Chef Brian Patterson"

  1. Yes, it does taste exactly like takeout. So impressive! I followed the recipe (using all 20 of the peppers) but I de-seeded half of them. Using only half the paste was the perfect ratio to the coconut milk, and I saved the other half for green curry another night. I also only used half the fish sauce as well. Yummy Yummy Yummy! This was real authentic thai curry.
     
  2. This is the flavor I was looking for but never expected to get. It is at least as good as the curry at the out-of-the-way restaurant that I go to just for this. I made this with chicken, but the important thing about this recipe is the sauce. I followed the recipe exactly EXCEPT I used only 10 chilies because we tend to be quite sensitive to spicy food. Actually, I would add 3 or 4 more if I were the only one eating. Thank you Tracy. You're right, it's outstanding.
