Curry Shrimp

Submitted by LucyS-D

"I read somewhere that women should eat curry several times a week. Until recently I was limited (at least according to me) to something with curry powder. Recently, I discovered that my regular grocery store now carried red curry paste and green curry paste, yay! This recipe also employs coconut milk which cuts down on some of the heat. Serve with rice."
