Thai Shrimp Curry

This is one of Emeril's recipes however, I've cut a corner or two by using purchased red curry, which you should add according to taste. NOTE: Here's RZ suggested substiution for Fish Sauce: 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce = 1 tbsp fish sauce; 1 tbsp soy sauce = 1 tbsp fish sauce

Made this for dinner tonight and served it over Coconut Brown Jasmine Rice. SO good! I always use the measurements in recipes as guidelines. I did however add a pretty big squirt of lemongrass paste, a decent amount of grated ginger, used 2 cans of coconut milk, and added about 1/4 cup of chunky peanut butter. I didn't have Thai basil on hand so I used regular Italian basil and onion instead of shallot. Can't wait for leftovers!1Reply
