Delicious! This was very quick and easy to make, with tons of flavor. Much better than the store bought variety. I cut the recipe in half, but next time I will make the full recipe and freeze what I don't use. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. Made for ZWT9 SE Asia for The Apron String Travelers

I've never had red curry paste before so I don't know if this is "right" but as my dad used to say, this will put hair on your chest. Made for ZWT9.
