Add the shrimp and simmer for 5 minutes, until they turn pink and are cooked through. Add the mango and cilantro. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon nam pla, the juice of the second lime and the rice vinegar.
  • Serve this soup-like curry in shallow bowls with steamed jasmine rice on the side.

  1. Not bad, however the juice of 2 limes was over-powering. I'd recommend 1/2 to 1 lime for the whole recipe, rather than the two. Also, if you like heat, you'll probably want to double the 1/2 tsp of red curry paste recommended. Going to try this again with these modifications as I do love Thail foods like this.
     
  2. OH MY WORD!!! If this were any better I would not be able to stand myself! We ALL wanted seconds last night but I only made it for 4 servings. Next time I will double the recipe! This is as good as ANY Thai I've ever had and I've had many, many dishes. It was so easy to make, too. YUM!!! Thanks, evelyn, for this family keeper.
     
  3. I was in two minds about the mango, but it did make it, DH said 100% fabulous! Served on couscous to drink up all the marvellous sauce, if we ate this in a restaurant we'd be going back there :) Fabulous Evelyn, thank you, made for ZWT9, Hot Pink Panthers On The Prowl
     
  4. Kudos Evelyn on another excellant recipe. Good clear instructions, quick and easy to make. What a lovely blending of seasonings. The shrimp were perfectly cooked. I served it as suggested with steamed jasmin rice. It was a real taste treat. Thank you for sharing.
     
  5. Sorry folks but this was not what Thai food means at our house. It was pretty bland. I added some extra fish sauce at table to make it saltier but still everyone left most of it on their plates. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of using frozen mango.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
